Memorial has consistently shown pride. During football season, students displayed more spirit and pride than almost any other year in Memorial history. The Wranglers were the most spirited the school had ever seen, according to their sponsor, Mr. Tom Lewis. Every athletic team and individual took pride in their accomplishments as each faired well in competition. After an exciting season and a tense district race, the Varsity football team fell just one game short of a repeated title and a trip to the playoffs. Both the volleyball and basketball teams had excellent seasons as did the swimming team. Academically, Memorial again reflected outstanding achievement. For their efforts, 23 students were named National Merit semi-finalists. Trophy after trophy was brought home from math contests, debates and various other competitions. The band received ratings of excellent in marching contests and the Markettes won recognition as Most Outstanding at a summer drill team camp in San Marcos. The Anvil was awarded All-Texas with a Special Honorable Mention continued on page 6 Half time is highlighted by the high kicks and dances of the Markettes, represented by Senior Shannon Henry.

The Reata was named State Champion from Texas High School Press. In a poll taken by the Reata, ap- proximately 92 per cent of the seniors stated that they were college bound, showing a high interest in academic improvement. Memorial shows its pride with good reason. It is located in one of the fastest growing and most exciting cities in the nation and the school district is among the finest in the state. With Who shot I.R.? being the question of the year, the television series Dallas brought more attention to Texas. The movies Urban Cowboy and Middle Age Crazy both had footage set in Houston bringing the focus closer to home. The kicker craze hit the nation and Houston was suddenly the place to be, unless you were a Houstonian. In Houston, prices remained high and the influx of illegal aliens increased and began affecting Spring Branch. Both the Astros and the Oilers went Concentrating only on his music, Senior band member Max Mertz blows vibrantly through his horn. The Marching band practiced every day after school.

The band did so every time they took the field. The Markettes traveled to London and marched in an Easter parade and at every choir, drama or orchestra performance, students gave it their all. During the year, students showed more than just pride and spirit, much more. They showed achievements of highest standards, on which they were proud to leave their mark. Memorial students will always pro- duce excellence and outstanding work for all of their lives, it's born in- to the breed. Everything students do, during school or later in life, they'll finish with great care, branded with pride. xi! Live experiments reinforce what students learn in the textbooks.

When it rang, students went their own way and said goodbye to teachers, principals and grades, at least until homework started. A high school has a tremendous amount of activities in which students can be involved. School related ac- tivities of every kind can be attended. Football games are the prime social events of the early year. Spirit organizations center their schedules around the season. Band and Markette members started practice before the school year began and came every day after school as well. Cheerleaders also spent their after hours at school, preparing pep rallies. Many students spent their free time at the school as well. Athletes practiced after school every day and practices were also held for musicals and other performances. Clubs offered students the oppor- tunity to become even more involved in the school. A student could truly over-do himself with activities, focus ing all attention towards the weekend. On weekends, we hit the night life: parties, dating, sleep and parties. There were senior parties for the rowdy. Iunior boys calling themselves the Zombies, threw par- ties virtually every week. Several students chose to hold after school jobs at stores and shops. Some students were even said to be study- ing occasionally. Memorial students indulged in every possible activity and there were many from which to choose. Spirit groups, clubs, athletics and school-work were but a few of the ac- tivities students joined in. Many students had private hobbies. One thing is for certain, though, every minute of time after hours was used effectively. Football games bring spirit from all organiza- tions. Students in the cheering section are entertained by Senior Alan Noon. Photo by lim Tomforde. We're number one is a common chant in the cheering section at Memorial Football games.

The precious months between May and August have long been numero uno in the minds of Memorial students. Summer is a time when you can grow up and mature without the stress of school, explained Sophomore Stan McDonald. Personal recreation was a favorite among students. I spent two weeks in the wilderness backpacking with Young Life, said Senior Kristen Fink. It was the funnest summer I've ever had, she added. Along with other Memorial students, I spent a week at Windy Gap, a Young Life camp in North Carolina, explained Senior Tracy Thompson. Others had less fulfilling motives. Women and waterskiing made my summer, said Iunior Kevin Keith. The beaches of Galveston Island provided a summer hangout for Memorial students. I spent half my summer at a rented condominium off of Iamaica Beach, revealed Freshman Robin Hecht. Freshman Edie Hansen preferred jamaica Beach for majestic reasons. I liked climbing the dunes at the beach, she said. Still others spent their summer months traveling throughout the world. I traveled overseas to Great Britain with my parents, com- mented Sophomore Stan McDonald. We accomplished the usual sightseeing list, and it was in- teresting, he added. Others traveling abroad went with continued on page 13 Barechested and enjoying the outdoors, Senior Robert Wallace soaks in the sun's rays flying a kite.

The Cheerleaders attended a cheerleading camp and seminar at Southern Methodist University. Three intense days of training began each day at 6 a.m. and culminated at 9 p.m. after exercising in the 100 degree heatwave weather of Dallas. Former cheerleaders said it would be the funnest aspect of cheerleading: they were masochistsf' explained Senior Missy Maxfield. Band began their marching preparations two weeks before the opening of school. The freshmen had to come a week before the veterans, said Sophomore sax- ophonist Maclain Greer. They had to learn the basic marching steps and routines, he added. Football also started their formal workouts two weeks before school came into session. We lifted weights throughout the summer, but this was only on an individual basis. The real hard-core practices began about the beginning of August, noted IV split end Ira I-I. Creen, Ir. To most students, the three months of summer were the best of the year. jp by Todd Thompson Senior Donna Scoggins stretches out an arms- length as she attempts to catch a softball while attending a birthday party at Bendwood Park.

Pals exchange gifts Curlers hidden by a bright red ban- dana tied in Aunt Iemima fashion, the girl struggles down the hall at- tempting to keep hold of her hat box, pom pons and blanket case. She has one destination in mind, that haven for members of Memorial High's drill team: the Markette room. If only this room could talk. It has survived 16 years of gossip, giggles and pep talks. Although new girls adopted the room during the marching season, it witnessed the same traditions that have tied the Markettes into a family. In the last five or six years, the room has come to mean more to the girls because of Secret Pals. They leave their gifts out on the boxes and everyone sees what everyone else is giving and getting. They have made each other feel closer, said Sponsor Dorothy Iosey. Underneath the windows in the front of the room lie the long, red Excitement lights the faces of Drum Major Ellen Bowman and Assistant Drum Major Leslie Champion as they accept the award for Best Drill Team.

All the sophomores looked forward to Friday because it was Secret Pal Day. Even though you don't know who your Secret Pals are, you still love them because they do such nice things for you, said Sophomore Con- nie O'Connor. Before the year began, the Secret Pals had already begun buying gifts for their assigned girls. We started buying stuff in the summer for our Secret Pal, so we could have things ready to give her, said junior Leigh Brock. Further down from the Secret Pal area, in the back of the room, a con- glomeration of boxes consisting of flags, umbrellas, tambourines, mor- racas and hoops lie waiting for continued on page 16 Awakened and kidnapped by the senior Markettes, Sophomores Cynthia Keyser and Michelle Mor an were forced to dress in field attire and perlirm Markette routines.

Innovative half time shows were choreographed by Drum Major Ellen Bowman and Assistant Drum Major Leslie Champion. We've tried to keep up with the changes in dance style and especially the changes in music said Dorothy. The Markettes would not have been complete without the band. The groups practiced together the last three days of the week to put together the show. I think we have a great band and certainly an excellent band director. I think their number one rating at con- test tells how good they are, said Dorothy.

We could look at the tree to see how many cards we sold, said junior Michele Hughey. The Markette Banquet, held December 9, marked a time for the girls to receive special rewards and to relive the early year with a slide show. We received charms for atten- dance and Christmas card sales. We got gifts for selling certain amounts of cards, said Michele. continued on page 19 Executive officers for the Markettes were Secretary Anne Lovejoy, Reporter Holly Stroud, Vice President Shannon Hendry, Treasurer Laura Clinton and President Carol Furst.

Holly Stroud and Esther Miles received these awards for perfect attendance at games as well as high academic achievement.

Freshman girls were offered a chance to enroll into the Markette training class at the beginning of the year. The first and second lieutenants were the teachers. I started out thinking if we get 50 per cent of those girls interested enough to try out it would be a wor- thwhile project, said Dorothy.

Both the Senior and Iunior Classes have received the opportunity to per- form in special shows and parades outside the regular season. I feel that the Iunior class is really close. We have been really lucky to have marched in the Astrodome, Hawaii and now London, said Michele. The new girls in Markettes worked hard to perfect their dance routines. Despite their lack of field experience, they added rather than detracted to the shows. I think the Sophomore Class is go- ing to be one of our best classes. We are only as strong as our youngest group. In this organization, each girl must be outstanding because we are all Varsity performers, said Dorothy. iii' by Laura Griffin and Mary Lynn Karvelas Markette flags flash on the field as the Markettes entertain the Mustangs fans during a pre-season football game.

From long hours in the sun to pep rallies to half time shows to nerve- tacking contests, the band forever re- mained a family. Even though it was time- consuming, it was worth it. The peo- ple you meet are great and you get closer since you have something in common, said jenni. However, in addition to spending their working time together, several band members became close-knit through their frequent band parties, which were held virtually every week after football games.

It's something different like with the pride that comes with winning a con- test. And we're all interested in music and that keeps us unified. So, despite the hard work, it's worth it!

Memorial's cheerleaders, con-' sisting of Prissy Bean, David Hillman, Steve Hoff, Glenn House, Kristi Kissner, Missy Maxfield, Elizabeth Peck, Tressie Quebe and Sean Stin- son were on a crusade to bring about a better change in gymnastic and chant routines. The idea was to try to gear cheerleading towards a more gym- nastic approach and move it away from the idea of just standing out there and looking pretty, explained head cheerleader Steve Hoff. Duties for the selected 10 began in early August on the campus of Southern Methodist University.

Pup Rallln s SPIRIT Regulations alter displa s of spirit Psychological studies have proven that the absence of clutter and litter in a student's environment improves learning abilities. In an effort to make this happen, the administration en- forced new restrictions on spirit clubs, such as the Wranglers, Sigma Gamma, I'aides, Samms and Fluffs. When spirit gets out of hand, something must be done, said Assis- tant Principal Mr. Gerald Clanton. And, because of the spirit that got out of hand, we had to enforce restrictions that have always been rules. The clubs started to do things which weren't positive. Posters and banners were cluttering the hallways, and lockers written on. Food was left all over the campus attracting ants and roaches. Tape left adhesive on the windows and peeled off the sur- face of ceilings and walls. After talking to the clubs personal- ly and explaining the problems, Mr. Clanton was happy with the girls' cooperation. I think they acted ad- mirably. Conditions improved tremendously and they did exactly what was asked of them, he said. Girls reacted to the restrictions dif- ferently, but spirit in general was still high. I didn't feel like they affected spirit that much. Posters were still put up and we could still bring food to their homes, said Iunior Kelley Green. Another enforcement unique to the year was the disbandment of the senior boy's group, the Wranglers. Mr. Halbert and Mr. Schaper of- ficially announced their disbandment after negative things were resulting from club members. The obnoxious behavior at pep rallies was far from what should be done at spirit promotions. It was also working against the cheerleaders' ef- forts. Of course, the vandalism also promoted disbandment, as did the advertised beer busts, said Mr. Clanton. The behavior gave Memorial a bad reputation, another reason for the disbandment, he added. The cheerleaders also had qualities unique to the year. This was an unusual year for the cheerleaders as we had elected 10 and ended up, for various reasons, with several alter- nates, said Mrs. Ann Butler, sponsor of the cheerleaders. Despite the enforcement of restric- tions, overall student support for athletes remained high. We'll adapt to the changes and spirit will always be fantastic, said Kelly. xii by Melissa Miller Declarations of school loyalty come from Senior football players Mark Stockham and Lee Chilton as they sing the Alma Mater.

Homecoming is a time for past Memorial students to come back and once again join in the activities, ex- plained Student Council President Senior lay Rockaway. As the football action progressed, fans were kept tense. The end of the second quarter left the score standing 17-9 in the Mustangs' favor. With the arrival of half time came anxious contemplations of who would be the 1980 Homecoming Queen. This question was answered as the performances of the marching band and the Markettes were completed, and Senior nominees Kristi Kissner, Elizabeth Peck and Catherine McGarry stepped on to the field escorted by their fathers. Student Council President Rockaway then presented the tradi- tional roses and crown to the elected queen, Catherine McGarry. I was surprised and happy at the same timeg I could hardly believe it, exclaimed Catherine. The 17-17 tie with the Raiders end- ed the field action for the Mustangs as Homecoming-goers headed for the cafe' de Memorial for the dance with music provided by the band Eclipse With Homecoming Hoedown as the theme, decorations were used ef- fectively to provide a more casual, western atmosphere. Strewing the floor with hay gave the cafeteria the appearance of a barn. The hard work of the Student Council, as well as other people, real- ly made this Homecoming one to remember, concluded Iudy. 1:U by Susan McBride While the music of Eclipse sets the beat, Iuniors Ieff Brosch and Susan Bradfield dance close together at the November 7 Homecom- ing.

As they light candles, some pace nervously while others stand silent. Suddenly, they take pitch and proceed down the aisles, greeting a capacity crowd with Fanfare for Christmas Day. Quick- ly, their nervousness is replaced by joyous emotion. Christmas Vespers has begun. The emotion involved in this an- nual Christmas concert is one of the most important factors of the show. The first half of the show is a sacred selection of songs sung by the Chorale and Chantelaires. The sacred part is my favorite half. The songs say what Christmas is really all about, said Miss Coloma Lafferty, choir director. Following an intermission, the cur- tains opened to a winter wonderland scene, thus beginning the second half of the show. This part of the show consists of a secular selection of songs designed to accompany the set. As a climax to this portion of Vespers, a castle was raised hydraulically from behind a concealing mountain as the Chorale sang Santa Claus is Coming to Town. The secular part was a blast. I thought the set was excellent, sum- med Sophomore Chorale member Pam Miller. Those choir members experiencing their first Vespers quickly discover the reason the concert has remained one of the biggest traditions in the school's history. It was really neat being a part of Vespers. I felt like I had accomplish- ed something important, said Sophomore Chantelaire Iennifer Shroff. Even experienced choir members find it hard to describe the feeling gained from Vespers. Senior Laura Clinton attempted, calling it an err tional hyperactivenessf' As the concert drew near its er the 40 people stood closely on t stage, holding hands, hugging o another.

Groups such as ACXDC, STYX, Bruce Springsteen, Cheap Trick, Talking Heads, Beach Boys, Iethro Tull, Commodores, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Pat Benatar, The Cars, Black Flag, Molly Hatchet, David Bowie, ZZ Top and The Kinks come to enthusiastic audiences, The places to play ranged from the accoustic nightmare of the coliseum to the relatively nice Summit. Smaller groups like Ultravox, the Gang of Four, the Stranglers, Really Red, the Degenerates, DOA., the Recipients and the Cramps resorted to the clubs such as Spit, Rock Island, the Agora and the Alley. Sometimes it's more fun to see bands that play the clubs. You get a sense of immediacy and raw power that is totally lost in a hugh arena like the Summit, commented Iunior Lisa Kreutz.

Springsteen came for a two-night stand in the Summit during November. The first show sold out by the second day tickets were on sale, but many thought it was worth it. It was one of the best concerts to come down the pike. The energy and musical quality was like no one else could produce, raved Coddington. The Cars, a new wave-turned-pop group, played the Summit with the Motels as their opening band. I hadn't heard much from the Motels, but their lead vocalist is enough to keep one's mind occupied. After that new Cars album I was a little ap- prehensive, but they turned out to be really excellent, said Iunior Iames Doizaki. After releasing One for the Road, a live double album, the Kinks con- cert was almost anticlimactic. Everything they said and did was already on the record. No surprises. It was kind of a let down. It was pretty fun, anyway, said Doizaki. Alias 'The Boss,' Bruce Springsteen searches for a hidden note in Iungleland. Springsteen jammed to two packed houses during his November tour.

The props person was in charge of getting all the props. Those responsible for set dressing had to find furniture and books. Students were required to create lighting plans and then rig the show. Posters and tickets were designed by another member of the production. The show ran from February 18 through 21. Although there were several technical difficulties llike the wrong set came downj the actors gave proud performances. After their many long and agonizing, yet en- joyable hours of work, the result was worth it, said Vicky. Although much of Memorial's talent is somewhat hidden as a result of a rule that only allows students enrolled in drama or choir to try out for plays, the Third Annual Night of the Stars talent show gave singers, dancers and actors a chance to ex- dazzles viewers hibit many special gifts. Noisy teenagers, loud music and corny jokes added to the atmosphere and created a handful for the emcees, Seniors Mike McTaggert and Lee Chilton, to control. t'The audience was terrible.

National Honor Society and American Field Service co-presented the show with NHS proceeds used to support a foster child and AFS pro- ceeds to finance an exchange student program.

Adding to the excitement of the ght was the crowning of a prom ng and queen. Out of six nominees, ree girls and three guys, Karen An- eoli and Mark Elkins were owned. Karen and Mark then shared a slow dance in their honor. Being crowned prom queen was such an honor, said Karen. It was a great addition to the night! Another added attraction was a slide show held during one of the band's breaks. There were slides cap- turing special moments of juniors during the year. The slides were humorous, said junior Cary Cox. There were some great pictures. For some the evening ended at 12 p.m. when the prom was over, but for others, the night land weekendj had just begun. We rented a beach house and spent the weekend there with a few other couples, said junior Wayne Andrews. Six of us went up to Brad Lynch's lakehouse at Livingston and just played and skied all weekend, said junior Sandy Alfeld.

Her thoughts moved to the years she had spent with the other people that also moved around. What a way to end four years, she sighed, with the senior prom. Not only did seniors dance and have a good time at the May 1 prom, but they also recognized that it was another step towards freedom. Every time I think or have thought about 'Senior Prom,' the end of school is always there with it, said Senior Susie Prince. With the appropriate theme of Born to be Wild, seniors could demonstrate the truth in that reputa- tion. Outrageously shaped sunglasses and dancing on each other's shoulders were a few of the amusing anecdotes the soon to be graduates Decked out in formal attire, Senior Cissy Besbron jams to prom entertainment provided by I.R.

We wanted to leave our mark behind. said Dorfman. Although everyone departed at 1, the night was not over. Parties of seniors flocked to breakfasts, quiet romantic spots, and the beach or other faraway places. Several other couples and I went to the beach, swam in the surf, and laid in the dunes, said Senior Kyra Buchko. i'My date and I went to a breakfast and then had champagne in my backyard, said Senior Craig? Turner. Whatever the after-prom plans, leaving the dance had sentimental emotions. Strains of Devo's 'Whip It' faded away as the bandleader cried, OK folkes, that's it.

Sr. Prom O49 DAT ING 50 I Dating games arrange mates Dating is no longer an impromptu ritual, but a series of strategic moves designed to bring two people together. Prospective daters maneuver to secure their position with the opposite sex. Planning in- volves a variety of tactics. Simply liking someone is more complicated than the situation infers. It involves putting one's best foot for- ward on a full-time basis. Certain steps are taken before a date is arranged. The usual pro- cedure is to first discover the person's schedule. If his locker is in the lower blue wing, it would be advisable to use a bathroom in the same location. After this has been accomplished, ascertaining his or her interests is vital. Some even go as far as finding out where they hang out, and ar- range to run into them accidentally If all these steps have been helpful, it is time to muster up some courage and proceed. At this point, girls may get up a few minutes earlier to do their hair or to pick out a special out- fit. Guys may feel a new pair of jeans or a haircut are in order. Phoning a girl is important if a boy wants to keep her interested. Although it might start with a call or two a week, it can lead to an every night habit. Once the relationship is establish- ed, other patterns emerge. For some, getting the date is enough and the game ends. Others will enjoy the friendship, and it will result in the pair going steady. A third group will date, but not to the exclusion of others. Dating is a wonderful social ex- perience of immense importance to teenagers. Customs may change, but people do not. Thus, techniques may vary, but the fun of dating remains. by Leslie Simon On a romantic date at Nat's, Seniors Steve Hoff and Michelle Fontenot show their love by holding hands while sipping a chocolate shake.

Overcome by culture shock in a malaria in- fested region of Hondurus had not been a pleasant experience for the teenagerg rather, a struggle. Through a youth oriented field project called Amigos de las Americas, two Memorial students were shipped off to Latin America to perform necessary health pro- grams for the needy peasants of poverty stricken barrios. Representing Amigos in Hon- durus were Senior Ioan Isensee and Iunior Todd Thompson. We endured over 150 hours of training and preparations between the months of Ianuary and May before we were given the O.K. to go into the field, said Route Leader Ioan. Training for projects varying from innoculations, dental hy- giene and eye glass prescription to animal husbandry and well and latrine digging was conducted every Thursday night and Satur- day morning from Ianuary through May. Over 10 hours of dedication per week is pretty exhausting: everyone experienced a few men- tal breakdowns, explained Thompson. Ioan traveled to I-Iondurus and served as Route Leader. I was the volunteers in my area, or barrio as they call it, noted Ioan. Well digging was my specialty. I had to take this mini-course in water tables and geology in order to under- stand the whats and hows of wells, said Thompson. Coupled with well digging was latrine digging. These two programs are part of a new experiment. Most disease and sanitation pro- blems stem from the lack of proper sanitation which eventually con- taminates the insufficient water wells which thus affect the poverty stricken individuals, said Thompson. What we're trying to do is correct the root of the problem rather than come in and have to innoculate against the devastating diseases - ineffective in the long run, he supplemented. Ioan was also president of the American Field Service IAFSJ, an in- stitution that exchanges students throughout the world. This year, Memorial hosted Misato Muto from Nagoya, japan and Antonio Figeroa Varas from Valparaiso, Chile, said Ioan. Antonio and Misato both spent the year attending Memorial and ex- periencing the American culture, while Amigos traveled abroad to Latin America for the summer. 3 by Todd Thompson AFS I 55 H LL Ally accomplished little although its three membersfofficers planned ambitious ac- tivities.

All , Health Careers aid society Every year three million homeless dogs and cats are born in Houston and the number continues to grow. ALLY, animal loving youth, is a society designed to aid and find homes for these animals. We try to lessen the burden of the humane society, SPCA, and the pound by finding homes for stray animals, said President Iordan Ronn. Presently ALLY has not found many homes for animals. Problems in keeping and feeding them till a home is found hinder their efforts. We had a book sale at Westwood mall and made over S140. We im- mediately donated it to the Humane Society, said Ronn. We only support the Humane Society because they are the only organization that does not kill the animals, said Ronn. Designed to encourage and bring together students interested in health careers, the Health Careers club was formed. We are short of members but I think interested people just do not know about us, stated Sponsor Mrs. Betty Cowan.

Young Life teaches Christian lif Friendship, concern and a lot of love were offered to sophomores, juniors and seniors through Young Life, a nationwide Christian organization. Young Life club was held every Monday night during the school year at Memorial Forest Swim Club. Led by Randy Youngling and Nan- cy Henderson, students sang and per- formed skits. Randy usually closed a club meeting with a short explanation of a part of Iesus Christ's life. Randy usually talked about something that happened in his own life and then at the end related it to the life of Iesus Christ and how He would have dealt with the situation, said Senior Dede Rollins. Campaigners, which is a more in- depth study group, met every Wednesday at a member's house. This group concentrated on Bible study and allowed students to grow closer through their walk with the Lord.

Religious activities at Memorial in- volved a large part of the student body with their many parties, meetings, charitable actions and fund-raisers. Fun and frolic combin- ed with spiritual learning experience was the underlying goal for many. Many jewish young women at Memorial belonged to a group known as Sigma Theta Pi ISTPJ. This is a Iewish sorority independent of any synagogue affiliation. STP involved its members in many projects both charitable and social. The purpose of STP is to unite young women so they can become one sisterhood and help those less fortunate, explained Senior jan Feld, former president of the organization. Other officers of STP included Senior Becky Proler, presidentg Senior Wendy Kaplan, vice presi- dentg Senior Debbie Swartz, pledge momg Senior Lisa Brooks, secretaryg Senior Debbie Brockstein, treasurer and Senior Suzanne Graubart, philanthropic.

In recent years at Memorial, the student council has been ineffective. I feel that this council has taken the first step in improving the record, said Student Council President Senior Iay Rockaway. This year we organized the Homecoming dance, our biggest money-making project, solved the parking problem and placed benches under the trees, near the Senior park- ing lot, commented Rockaway. At the end of each school year the student body elects new officers for the next year's council while the representatives are elected in each English class. Student Council officers for 1980- 81 were Seniors Iay Rockaway, presi- dent: Kelley Didion, vice presidentg Shari Hart, secretaryg and Iunior IoLynn Beeler, treasurer. The president further appointed a Projects Chairman, Senior Suzanne Graubartg a Parliamentarian, Senior Ioe Duncan and a new innovation in- to the council was a Sergeant-at- Arms, Senior Kyra Buchko. Last year the meetings were ex- tremely disorganized, and everyone would talk of other matters rather than listening to the meeting. So, I decided to appoint a Sergeant-1 Arms to keep everybody in line, sa Rockaway. Although the council feels th made the first step in better represe tation of the student body, they sl work for quick and effective actir on their proposals.

F CA, architects Aspirations of becoming a renown- ed architect or craftsman may never be met, yet members of the Industrial Arts Club have gained at least local recognition for their talents. The club was organized for students enrolled in metalshop, woodshop or drafting classes. Members of the club represented Memorial in various contests. Com- petitors entered woodcrafts, metalcrafts or architectural designs created over the course of the year. Local winners continued to regionals and then traveled to state. We were kind of at a disadvantage because we only have 17 members. Schools like Spring Branch enter loads of people and several other schools in Texas enter hundreds of kids, explained President Senior Larry Garrett. However, We've cleaned up a few times, he added. In order to reach the contests, gas money was raised through candy and peanut sales. They also held get togethers for relaxation, socializing and a poker game or two, joked Secretary Senior Robert Boyd. Officers included Vice President junior Trey Pratt, Treasurer Senior jim Sanderson, Sergeant-at-arms Senior Rusty Webb, Reporter Senior Mary Tritico, Garrett and Boyd and sponsor was Mrs. Crystal Howard. Few members planned careers in the Industrial Arts field. Everybody was in it mostly for fun. The people in drafting will probably go into ar- chitecture, but the other stuff is just hold fellowsh1p like an extra hobby for everyone, commented Garrett. Another religious group, consisting of aspiring Memorial jocks and jockettes, was the National Fellowship of Christian Athletes IFCAI. This group met on every other Tuesday night and topics ranged from speakers to just discussions among members. Our purpose was just to get a bunch of guys together who shared the same bond - whether it be foot- ball, basketball, track or whatever, said President johnny Kennedy. Speakers for the meetings have been of a wide variety. We've had a bunch of different professional athletes and also some people who weren't athletes, it all depended, said Senior George Coltrin. A new diversion was the addition of girls to the organization. In former years the club consisted only of males. There are a lot of girls in athletics, also, and we wanted the same chance to meet that the guys had, said Senior Vice President Michelle Fontenot.

This realization took a long time in coming. Suddenly, though, the moment came, the ceremony long awaited. But as facades of solemness covered the faces of the graduating class, many thoughts focused on the past weeks and not on the actual moment. There was an assembly April 29 in which Principal Mr. Wayne Schaper delivered his annual Don't die on me before graduation speech and admonishments against intoxicating beverages, preceded by Senior Prin- cipal Olan Halbert's own pre- graduation warnings and advice: clear your records, pay all fines and lab fees, keep your grades up and your conduct exemplary. Caps and gowns were issued May 13 and 14 and suddenly the halls seemed tinted red, filled with seniors parading their colors and flaunting their honor cords. Graduation rehearsal was held May 19 at the Spring Branch Col- iseum. As usual a few stragglers neglected to obey Mr. Schaper's war- nings to arrive on time, deeming a li- quid breakfast at Bendwook Park more important. At last, the big day arrived. May 21 found seniors all in place around 7:15 p.m., looking like a small army on the bleachers of Tully Stadium. Cries of Who's got a bobby pin I can borrow? to Quick, someone help me fix these dang honor cords right! , erupted as the mass of students filed toward the Coliseum. Unfortunately, the sudden motion was soon halted for another 15 minute break on the football field. Anxious teachers clasped hands and uttered words of encouragement to the equally nervous and noisy students as they filed towards their seats. Each student received last mf aka...

Senior Iames Crawford pro- ceeded to flash the graduates after receiving his diploma, revealing taped-on pant legs and shorts. Many seniors delivered a token of gratitude into the hands of Mr. Schaper, a Susan B, Anthony dollar, with the traditional handshake. Such displays of restlessness came to an end, though, as Susan Zeier ap- proached the stage.

Whether an athlete or spectator, every person is proud to be able to yell We're number one. Memorial has consistently produced top-notch athletes and teams. Athletics is a highly enrolled area in high school. In 1980, 28.3 per cent of all students at Memorial par- ticipated in sports. Over 40 per cent of the boys participated. The sports season began with the most supported of the sports, football. The Mustang Varsity jumped into an exciting District race. However, as the season came to a close, the Mustangs had fallen just one game short of a repeated District reign and another trip to the playoffs. Varsity volleyball also came in a close second at the end of District play. As basketball season opened, Memorial was ready for a number one rating. The Varsity squad responded, and at the end of the first round of play, the team had an undefeated record and led the race by a game. The team ended the season with more excellent playing. Memorial had found its winner. Individuals also brought Memorial recognition. Diver Art Conley won sixth in the State and also an eighth place finish in a national meet in California. Each sport had individual stars helping to lead the team. In football, Seniors Ben Heinrich and Glenn Hendrickson were outstanding achievers. In baseball, Senior David Baldwin, a pitcher received several scholar- ship offers for his efforts. Team Captain of the Varsity basketball squad was Senior Reid Cettys. Reid was named to the first string All-District team in 1980. Senior Mimi Morales participated in both volleyball and softball with equal ability and junior Ellen Ewing also stood out on the Varsity volleyball team. Sophomores such as Brian Burr, Tammie Graef and Anne Hulbert also contributed greatly to the sports of football, swimming and tennis. All of these individuals were fine examples of the type of athlete for which Memorial is noted. They were the leaders, but every athlete gave it his all. Athletics gave everyone something to yell about and it was exciting. Memorial's athletes competed and succeeded, branding their work with pride. w 84 I Sports Afternoon workouts conditioned track members for the season.

Although people customarily have per- sonalities, inanimate things also show character. Rooms have personality. Pictures have personality. Schools have personality. But teams have a personality, toog the sum total of its working parts. Memorial Mustangs had a per- sonality. They were 54 finely meshed gears working together as a unified whole. They were a team that had to surmount a great many obstacles before they enjoyed the sweet taste of victory. And the obstacles they had to over- come were considerable. The Mustangs were entering their first season under new Head Coach Wayne Hooks, who replaced Les Koenning when the latter took the job of offensive coordinator at Rice University. A new offensive coor- dinator, Randall Alford, who hailed from Abilene High School was also a new leader for the Ponies. Inexperience, however, was the Mustang's primary weakness. A young offense started the season with only one returning starter, split end Ben Heinrich, a second team All- District selection as a junior. Senior tackle Doug Elmore, Senior kickerfflanker Thom Murphey, Senior fullback Mark Stockham and Iunior tailback Randy Miller round- ed out the offensive letter-winning experience. The defense fared better, returning five starters from the previous 10-4-1 State finalist team. Tackles Senior Glenn Hendrickson and Iunior Gene Chilton, Senior noseguard Marc Grosz, Senior linebacker Iames Crawford and Senior safety George Coltrin provided leadership. Injuries also depleted the Pony corps. Miller and Senior linebacker David King, among others, were lost early in the season and never made it back into action. With enthusiasm and anticipation running high, the Mustangs pulled .qw we-M 86 O Varsity Football into Pasadena's Memorial Stadium to kick off the football season. GAME 1. After missing on three, second quarter field goal attempts, kicker Thom Murphey split the uprights with nine seconds left to salvage a tense 10-9 decision over the Sam Rayburn Texans. Rayburn had led since midway through the second quarter, although much of the second half was spent in Texan territory. The Mustangs outgained the Texans bet- ter than two to one on the ground. GAME 2. In one of the biggest games of the young high school season, the number five state-ranked Brazoswood Buccaneers traveled to Tully Stadium to meet the Big Red. The Bucs boasted an offensive line that averaged 242 pounds.

The Buccaneers came out on top 24-7 to take an edge in the five- year-old rivalry 3-2. GAME 3. In the first crucial district game of the 1980 season, the Mustangs battled their fiercest rival, the Westchester Wildcats. The Wildcats were picked by many to sweep district 17-5A. However, the Mustangs had other ideas as they capitalized on several early Westchester miscues to defeat their rivals 19-6. The Mustangs tallied the Westchester defense, led by All- American linebacker Alan jamison, for 16 first-quarter points and the defense limited the 'Cats to a pair of field goals. GAME 4. The Mustangs traveled to Alief Stadium to play the Hastings Bears in the second district game for both teams. The offense never seem- ed to really get on track as the defense held the Bears to five points to salvage a 6-5 victory. Disaster struck in the second quarter when Quarterback jay Iler went down with a separated shoulder. GAME 5. Memorial's hopes of a clean sweep of district 17-5A were lost in a sea of green as the Stratford Spartans pinned a 22-0 shutout on the defending State finalists. The loss marked the first time since the Westchester game of the previous season that the offense failed to generate a point. With Iler still down with a shoulder injury, the Mustangs attempted only seven passes, four of which were intercepted. You just can't beat a team like Stratford with that many turnovers, said guard joel Cooper. The Mustangs fell to 2-1 in district competition, while Stratford moved to 2-0. GAME 6. With a staunch defensive effort that limited the opposition to nine yards passing and only 82 yards of total offense, the Mustangs blank- ed district newcomer Katy 17-0. The win kept the Ponies in the thick of the district race. GAME 7. Coming off a badly need- ed idle week, the Mustangs managed to salvage a 12-7 decision over the Elsik Rams at Alief Stadium. Although the offense amassed 341 yards of offense, they failed to score points. Elsik played well, and we continued on page 90 Arms rise signaling a touchdown as Sophomore Brian Burr goes in for another score. Brian led the team to a number of touchdowns. Photo by Dan Thompson.

In what Hooks termed the team's best total effort so far, the Mustangs overwhelmed the Spr- ing Woods Tigers 34-7. The offense gained 350 yards, while the defense limited the district's most potent of- fense to just 130. Sophomore tailback Brian Burr had 162 yards on 21 car- ries to lead the rushing attack. The victory kept alive hopes of a fourth district crown in five years. GAME 9. Homecoming night. Memorial vs. Northbrook. The thing that hurt most about the Northbrook game, lamented Senior safety Seth Howell, was that we had a 100 chances to win and didn't take ad- vantage of one of them. A mishandled snap from center with 1:41 left in the game gave the Raiders the football inside the Mustang 40. The Ponies owned the lead 17-9. Eight plays and a two-point PAT later, the Mustang title hopes were shattered with a 17-17 tie. GAME 10. Proving that a Mustang fights best when down, the Big Red ended their 1980 season on a winning note with a 31-15 domination of traditional enemy Spring Branch. Post season accolades were soon incoming. All-District honors were earned by Hendrickson ffirst teaml, Grosz ffirst teaml, Chilton lsecond teaml, Crawford fsecond teamj, Col- trin lfirst teaml, Elmore ffirst teaml, Cooper ffirst teaml and Iler fsecond teaml. Honorable Mention All- District included Brian Burr, Mark Stockham, Gayle Oliver, Bud Thomas, Ben Heinrich, David Schero, Ricky Roberts, Mark Shackelford and Howell. In addition, Grosz shared the H. M. Landrum trophy for most outstanding defensive lineman with Westchester defensive tackle Scott Hulgan. Coltrin won the Landrum trophy for most outstanding defensive back, as well as the Mustang scholar- athlete award, which he shared with Senior Lee Chilton. Hendrickson was named to the first team All-Greater Houston team and was named a state blue chip prospect. Elmore was named to the second team All-Greater Houston squad. The Mustang Fighting Heart Award was presented to Senior Rick Beeler. Although the district crown eluded them, the 1980 Memorial Mustangs left their respective hoofprints on the practice fields across the street. They will be remembered alongside the many great past Mustang teams that established the intangible but overwhelming force known as Mustang Pride. li! by Bud Thomas The Varsity Football team included: Front row: cheerleaders Mark Dorfman, Sean Stin- son, Prissy Bean, Steve Hoff, Missy Maxfield, Trey Brittain, Kristi Kissner, Glenn House, Elizabeth Peck, David Hillman, Sharon Nichols.

Varsity Football O 91 Microjocks persevere Despite the loss of eight juniors to the Varsity squad, the IV football team still managed to turn around their meager 3-7 sophomore slate to a successful 7-3 record. We thought that because of the loss of so many juniors to Varsity we would continue our losing ways, ex- plained Split End Iunior Ira Green. Even the coaches were surprised when we finished 7-3, he added. The IV began their season with a 6-0 shutout of Rayburn. They lost, however, their second game to a tough Brazoswood team 0-16. They had a really awesome defense, and a pretty good offense to boot, said Iunior Lineman Trey Cashion. A psyched-up IV squad bounced back against Westchester, allowing only a second quarter safety. Although the score was only 10-2, we really massacred them in the tren- ches, noted defensive linebacker Lance Thomas. Following the Westchester game, the Mustangs turned back a dormant Hastings team 12-6. The Stratford game proved to be the highlight of the IV season. Our matchup with Stratford was the turning point in our season. It was the first time the offense played up to their potential, said Green.

But luck was not with the Mustangs, and they lost a lead in the final minute. With a 7-6 lead,'we punted deep to the Bears.

Although we had a disappointing year, we showed individual improve- ment which will benefit us as juniors and seniors, said Sophomore Pat Murphy. The Sophomore team is a testing place to learn and prepare for the Varsity situation, said Coach Sid Nichols. The Freshman athletes, some who had never ventured on the Memorial campus, much less the football field, were rolled out the Mustang welcome mat with the beginning of the pre-season summer workouts, August 4. In numbers of incoming Freshmen going out for football, this was the smallest group we've ever had, replied Freshman Coach Bill Cronin. Despite the small turnout, the in- coming Freshmen divided into two squads, an A and a B team, number- ing near 20 a piece. The eager fish met with limited success. Their first opponent Rayburn, with the A-team narrowly defeating the Rangers 6-0, and the B- team losing 18-34. We just couldn't get it together, remarked A-team tight end, Peter Fisher. Halfway through the season, the jubilant Freshman squads possessed 6-0 IA-teamj and 4-1-0 IB-teamj records, having soundly defeated opposing teams such as Westchester and Hastings. Left with only four games on the 10- season schedule, the Freshman B-team soundly defeated opponents Elsik, Spring Woods, Northbrook and Spring Branch, finishing with an 8-1-0 record. The A-team fared less fortunate los- ing by narrow margins to Elsik and Northbrook, but bouncing back to finish the season with victories over Spring Woods and Spring Branch and rounding out the season with an 8-2 record. by Russel Ledbetter and Todd Thompson Quick thinking and a steady hand are elements of a good kicker, said Varsity kicker Tom Mur- phy.

Dreams of fame or just the satisfac- tion of playing a decent game seem to make the sacrifices worthwhile. The goal of many athletes, however, remains a scholarship and a chance for collegiate play. Stanford University is a school for athletes whose interests lie not only in sports but also in academics. David Baldwin, pitcher for the Mustang baseball team, considered a lucrative offer from Stanford. I flew out one weekend in Ianuary to see the school lStanfordl, and they treated me great. They gave one of their Varsity team members a Mastercharge card and told us to 'live it up,' said Baldwin. Diver Casey Conley also received scholarship offers from Stanford, as well as North Carolina State, and the University of New Mexico. Another athlete with college aspirations was basketball player Reid Gettys. He has received offers from several Texas schools as well as out of state colleges. 'Td like to stay in Texas although if I get a really good offer, I would go out of state, said Cettys. A starting defensive tackle for the Mustangs for two years, Senior Glenn Hendrickson received several offers, among them University of Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Texas A8zM, later definitely commit- ting himself as an Aggie. Whatever colleges these five athletes decided to attend, their future success may not be certain. However, if intelligence, hard work and a positive winning attitude have any influence at all, they have a great chance. 1:U by Kelley Didion Toes pointed and arms outstretched, Senior Casey Conley executes a back dive at the natatorium.

Determination, the will to win, were the two main reasons we kept on going, never gave out or stop- ped giving our all, stated Senior Mimi Moralas. This year's Varsity members all had one thing in commong they wanted to win District, I can always remember Tracy Cernan or Mandy Williams talking how they wanted to win District, said Coach Ann Butler. The Varsity volleyball team con- sisted of nine seniors, and one junior, four letterwomen, and all experienc- ed players. We were a large Varsity team which in a way helped us more, when one person was in a slump another could quickly come off the bench and replace her, said Senior Tracy Cernan. However, some girls felt different- ly about the matter. I didn't like hav- ing such a large team, maybe because I was the one always sitting on the bench, said Senior Lindsey Whitaker. Sometimes you just feel you are there to practice with the starting six girls or relieve an injured player, Lindsey continued. 98 O Varsity Volleyball end I know a few of the girls were upset about sitting on the bench, but I was there to win, said Mrs. Butler. All 10 of the girls were familiar with each other's techniques. Our whole team had been together since our freshman year, excluding Ellen Ewing and Tracy Richardson, so we knew each other well and were able to cope with each individuals' idiosyncrasysf' commented Mimi. This closeness enabled our team to work better, the closer the team, the better we played, said Tracy. But the girls did not 'appear' to be a particularly outstanding team. We were not very tall, kinda short really, but we were a quick hustling team, Tracy continued. Up until the final game of the District playoffs, the Mustangs looked as they were going straight to the top. We had worked long hard hours the whole season and overcame the odds by winning consistently. We just became overconfident for the last playoff game, against Northbrook, and were not fired up enough, said Mimi. I felt let down after the game. After working the entire season, it all came down to one single game and we lost, she continued. I don't like the method of using playoff games to determine district. We had to play two teams even though we had the best overall record, said Tracy. The last game may not have been what the girls had hoped for but the overall season was successful. The Varsity went to three tournaments, placing in every one. In the La Porte tournament we came in first, and at the Northshore and Spring Branch tournaments we placed third, said second year letterwoman Mandy Williams. The tournaments were the most fun games we played in. We were allowed to skip school and we weren't so pressured to win, com- mented Lindsey. Overall this is the best season I continued on page 100 The varsity volleyball team included, Bottom row: Ioan Isensee, Karen Rathgeber, jennifer Glasford, Tracy Richardson.

Varsity Volleyball O 99 Veteran Varsity produces four All-District team members have ever had as a coach, at Memorial, pertaining to our win loss record, said Mrs. Butler. The girls played volleyball for various reasons: the thrill of competi- tion, friends and the joy of playing. Volleyball, as any team sport is a good experience. It teaches good sportsmanship, helps you meet peo- ple and it's just fun, said Lindsey. This was my sixth year to play volleyball, and my Varsity year was my best. You felt really special, and everybody looks up to you, said Lindsey. One game in particular I remember everybody supported each other, the Alief-Elsik game. The whole team was nervous and Ellen and Karen just provided confidence, said Mimi. I will always remember the first District game against Northbrook. The whole team was together and wanted to win, said Mandy. Besides being a close team, the fans provided record breaking support to the girls. Our mothers gave each girl a special gift before each game, it kin- da' made every player feel special, said Tracy. Besides the mothers, the students contributed an overwhelming amount of support. During the first playoff game against Northbrook, the H10 O Varsity Volleyball students cheered and screamed for the girls, said Mrs. Butler. Outstanding players included Mimi Moralas, first team All-District, high point server with 201 points and voted most valuable player by her teammates, Tracy Richardson, first team All-District and Mandy Williams and Ellen Ewing second team All-District. I don't think of a few outstanding players, I think of us as one big fami- ly, I think of us before each game kneeling down silently and a prayer being said to God, concluded Lindsey. The girls set a standard, one to be upheld by those waiting to follow in their stead. Their level of play was admired by the IV and Freshmen. That's our goal, to play Varsity ball. It's a lot more aggressive and a lot more fun. It's a much higher level of competition, said Iunior Betty Epps. Since this year's team was so good, we have a lot to live up to.

In the footsteps of the Varsity volleyball team, the team joined the seniors in a second place finish. Our most important game, against Katy, determined our District finish. Like the Varsity team the whole season came down to one final game, said Iunior Kate Vickers. The I.V. team lost to Katy in the last few moments, 8-15, 15-8, 7-15. 'iWe played a good hard game, everybody was really fired up. Katy just played better, said Kate. Overall, our season was really ex- citing. The tournaments provided most of the fun, said Sophomore Shanna Shields. The Clear Lake tournament was the best. We won first place out of 24 teams. Both Kate and I were named 'All-tournament', she continued. After winning third place in the Galena Park tournament, Iunior Marilyn Havileck was also voted 'All tournament' We were basically a team who didn't take volleyball too seriously. That probably accounted for a few of our losses, said Kate.

Volleyball I 103 Baby bumpers win second in tournament at Galena Park Fish obtain first in District games New school, new team, new team- mates and a new coach. Freshman volleyball players faced these and more problems in their first year. Coached by Miss Fanny McGee, the fish finished in first place with a 13-3-0 district record and a strong se- cond place in the Galena Park tournament. Vicki Iohnson was voted most valuable player for the tournament. We played together as a team, not individuals, said Vicki. lt was dif- ferent because Miss McGee wasn't there to tell us what to do. We had to know ourselves, she added. At the Galena Park tournament, we played Deer Park, who had beaten us in a scrimmage. I think Deer Park expected to win, but it was the best game we played, individual- ly and as a team both, said Coach McGee. With Claire Closmann as high point scorer for the entire season, the team consisted of: Ellen Adair, Lynn Faris, Ianis Giles, Vicki Iohnson, Meredith Maxfield, Catherine Moore, Stacy Neff and Racheal Powell. These players quickly learned to work together and strive towards a successful season. We were one big, happy family, said Vicki. If we weren't all friends, it wouldn't have been so good, added Ianis Giles. 104 I Freshman Volleyball Though the season was tough, the fish withheld the pressure and came out on top. We started off like we would be really strong all year. First round we out-played the rest of the teams, but -:Lx '35 'Sf wpwp since we started off so well, it was hard for us to improve. During the se- cond round, the other teams started to improve so the race was close, everyone was right there with us, said Coach McGee. Rivalries played a major part of the season and the fans were behind the team. Stratford and Westchester were our best games because everyone was so spirited, said Ianis. The difference between the Westchester and Deer Park was that we played as a team against Deer Park, not as individuals, added Coach McGee. Looking back, the fish are pleased with their results.

Rebound Varsity squad notches district title As quickly as the excitement of post-season play had begun, it was all over, and only after participation in the first round. Memorial's Varsity Mustangs were now out of it, losing only by one basket, and the basket- ball season of 1980-1981 was now at an end. The Varsity team, having compiled a record of 31 wins and six losses, remaining undefeated in district play and holding at one point in the season a game winning streak would now be left to pack up their duffles and think about what might have been. I don't consider this year a per- sonal success. After that game, we hadn't really peaked yet. If we had won, that's what would have started us, we could have taken off, confess- ed Senior Mark Krog. Although the Mustangs staged a productive season, feelings of remorse over the season's results still lingered with players. We weren't enough of a team, we were a group of individuals. We had one leader in Gettys. Gettys had a way of getting us mentally ready. Ninety per cent of it was him. He was our team leader and got us going. We won't have that next year: we will have to be more of a team. It will take us all to get psyched up, not just one person. This will enable us to be more together, explained Iunior Chris Ochs. continued on page 109 High in the air, Senior Varsity member Mark Krog executes a jump shot.

We lost the four games we lost at beginning just because, they were teams and we still weren't as a team. At half time, Coleman would tell us that to up, we would have to start off the second half. The reason we losing at the half in the first was because we didn't start off at the beginning of the game.

I was just glad I could gain the experience. The levels of play from the j.V. level to Varsity are a bit different, declared Saunders. Soundly, the Mustangs defeated Katy j69-48j and then went on to defeat Northbrook 47-43. We barely won that Northbrook game, we had to come from behind to win it. Our problem was that we weren't starting off well and getting the big gain. When we would start off bad and fall behind, we'd really have to work to catch up, explained junior Eric Poerschke. Continuing their domination of district play, the Varsity squad defeated Spring Branch, Westchester, Spring Woods, Stratford and Elsik.

So as not to stay idle for the week and one half before their bi-district game, Coach Don Coleman schedul- ed games opposite Corpus Christi Carroll and Austin High, both teams also in the quest for a state title. These games were to be played only for practice, and did not affect the teams record. Then the showdown began. What started out as a foot race testing en- durance, the Mustang squad kept to the pace set by Madison. However, the Mustangs remained at an eight point disadvantage at the half, losing to the Marlins 30-22. A fourth period attack launched by guard Mark Krog, pulled the Mustangs to a 50-50 tie with only 1:37 showing on the clock. A swift attack pulled the Mustangs ahead 52-50, but Madison's quickness prevailed, strik- ing back with six points in the last 45 seconds to gain a 56-54 victory. victory. The season now over for the Varsi- ty squad, looking back would seem harder after an abrupt one point loss. One assumption could be made, the Varsity squad of 1981 had developed from a group of individuals into a team. w by Russell Ledbetter Point Guard Iunior Chris Gches searches for an open man against Spring Branch.

Under the coaching of Billy Howard, the IV began their district flight with a 21 point victory over Reagan, 73-52. 36 games later they re- mained undefeated. Starters included Sophomores Mike Filderman, Iim Rathburn and Mike Fink, and Iuniors Steve Calvin and Mark Lockett. The intensity in which the boys played was consistent throughout the year, noted Coach Howard. Other players included Sophomores Robert Butts and Iuniors Spence Collins, Greg Roark, Tim Crisp and Martin Schroader. The IV slate was a clean 23-0 as they entered district play. Included in pre-season play were two tour- naments, both of which Memorial easily dominated. District competition proved even easier for the IV. We almost were denied by Elsik in our next to last game, but Calvin came through with a long jumper in the last few seconds -I.V. Scores ..1....

The sophomore team compiled a nine game winning streak until they lost a cliff hanger to Dulles. Going in- to the Dulles game we were really confident and consistent with our game. We choked in the final seconds and lost 37-38, said Sophomore Stan McDonald. Following the loss to Dulles, the sophomores faced St. Thomas once again. This match-up did not seem to cause concern for the still confident sophomores. District play began after their 51-54 loss to St. Thomas. Coach made sure we would be ready for Stratford: nobody wanted to lose three in a row, said McDonald. The game was fairly close, but we pulled away in the fourth quarter and won by six, he added. The sophomore team remained undefeated in district competition coming into their last game. We ac- tually had a chance to capture the district title if we beat Elsik.

The freshmen of 80-81 began workouts in August, splitting into 'A' and 'B' teams for concentrated work on dribbling, passing and guarding. Both teams started off slow, losing pre-district games. However, as district competition terminated, both the 'A' and 'B' teams walked away with the District Title. The 'A' team finished with a 16-4 record while the 'B' team finished 7- 1. Nobody gave us a shot when the season began, we were just con- sidered a sub-par team, noted Freshman Arthur Feldmen. However, as district competition began, the 'A' team gelled to form a working unit. We pretty much smeared all the teams in district, ex- cept for the final loss to Stratford. The title was ours after beating Branch 53-19, noted Freshman Kevin Dilio. w by Todd Thompson lFreshman Scores--- Katy 69-24 Northbrook 48-33 Spring Branch 53-19 Westchester 53-24 Stratford 55-56 Sharpstown 70-54 Iackson 42-55 Tomball 49-25 Westchester 50-30 Cypress Creek 49-50 Spring Branch 44-32 Westchester 52-45 FINAL RECORD 16-4 As the freshman basketball players enter onto the court, faithful freshman fans cheer the team to victory.

Freshman Basketball O 115 X Iockettes succeed in first season One year of play doesn't make in- stant winners or expert players. In their first full season of play, the girls' basketball teams learned this as they drilled and drilled and . . . This year was used to stress basics and fundamentals, said Coach Buffy Fitzgerald. Some girls have played basketball, some have not. We con- centrated on shooting, ball handling, rebounding and defense. There were two teams, a non- honors team consisting of sophomores, juniors and seniors and a freshman team. This non-honor level qualifies the teams for UIL play next year. The season was mostly a learning one, though most girls felt it was more successful than last year's mini-season. Our defense was a lot stronger than our offense this year. Next year the offense should develop further, said Iunior Emily Schuette. According to coach, offense sells tickets and defense wins games, ad- ded lunior Ellen Ewing. The season consisted of 13 regular season games and a tournament worked up by the coaches for the purpose of extra games. Character was the strong point of the non-honors team. They were dedicated and willing to work, said Coach Fitzgerald. They had a lot of class and played with a lot of class. Though they won only two games, the freshmen weren't too disap- pointed. We did pretty good con- sidering most of us hadn't played before, said Freshman Ricki Shoss. When you compare us at the start to the end of the season, it is unbelievable, added Freshman Krista Gregory. The freshmen's main obstacle was lack of teamwork. We'd get on each other's nerves, so it was important to work as a team, said Katie Matzinger. We had a lot of spirit. Their desire to improve kept the team together, said Coach Fanny McGee. Instead of focusing on win- ning, the girls improved their skills to become a better team. Coach Fitzgerald is leaving after only one season. Coach taught us a whole lot this year. It is really a loss that she is leaving, said Ellen. Coach Fitzgerald summed up the year by saying, We have begun the foundations for a basketball program at Memorial. The cornerstones, which are the most significant part of a solid foundation, have been laid.

Tennis I 123 0I.F I Golf team offers fun, exercise, sport Whether in pursuit of a profes- sional career or a social way to exer- cise and have fun, 10 girls got together weekly to practice and prepare for tournaments as members of the girls' golf teams. Before becoming a part of this team, each member had to make it through a preliminary screening known as tryouts and then determine their position on the team. Tryouts were held at the beginn- ing of the season. Everyone who tries out plays nine holes and the best scores make the team, said Iunior Elenora Avellon. The top five members make up the A team and the other five make up the B. Coach of the team, Mrs. Ann Butler, took the girls to Whitte driving range to practice. We practice every Thursday and Tuesday and either play nine holes of golf or hit on the range. The school pays for us to have a free bucket of balls every day we practice, said Iunior Iennifer O'Donnel. Even though the girls did not have an outstanding year, they did progress. We placed fifth at a tournament at A8zM University, said Iennifer. District competition also required the practicing of every member. During District, if members of the B team do better than those on the A team, then those people go on to Regionals, said Avellon. We really did Well at district. Our A team placed first and our B team placed third overall. The competition was held at the golf course at Green Meadows on April 6 and 7 and so the A team goes on to Regionals, too, said Iennifer.

After finishing, the figures merged and headed toward a room filled with weights and other such exercise paraphenalia to stretch. Before the 9 a.m. hour arrived, they had completed nearly 30 minutes of exercise and stretch routines and run over four miles. These healthy athletes comprised the Boys' cross country track team, coached by Mr. Will Taylor. As in past years, members of the team en- dured rigorous training programs, as junior Wayne Andrews explained. We had to be on the track by 7:15 a.m. for our warm-up mile and then we did in and outs, which means we ran the straight part of the track and walked the corners. After that, we stretched or lifted weights for about 30 minutes, and then we ran three more miles. In the afternoon, we usually did speed work. It was hard enough to run one five minute mile, but to do it four times got a little rough. Sometimes workout was not that hard, though: on Wednesdays, we oc- casionally ran the seven mile track at Memorial Park. Keeping in shape frequently in- flicted injuries on the runners. It was really demanding. You had to be careful and also in tip-top shape 128 O Cross Country to keep up or else you would get hurt, said Senior Eddie Dunnam. As a result of the frequent injuries the team did not do as well in District competition as expected. g Memorial used to always be number one in cross country, but in the past five years, competition has gotten stiff. This year was particularly hard since our team was young and most of our star runners were out, said Andrews. Although cross country season end- ed the second week in November, team members continued to train for track season which began in February. I've been running since I was in the third grade and like it a lot better than football. It takes a lot more out of you to run track and it also gets your legs in shape, said Dunnamlif by Melissa Miller Hurdles are one of the many aspects of track sports. junior Kathy Sorsby practices her jumps after school for the upcoming regional meet.

Football ins the prize for fan support. owever, with the football team fall- ng short of district and basketball en- ing with the bi-district game, ustang supporters rallied behind he baseball team. Early reports forecasted an ex- ellent season for the Mustangs. owever, a fumbling first round oiled plans for a district sweep. Tryouts for the team began ebruary 4. New members were 'mited because there were nine eturning Varsity lettermen. They ere Seniors David Baldwin, Iames ook, Bee Hart, Ben Heinrich, Iay Il- r, Mark Krog, Iames McCain, onald Puntch and Randy Smith. A different approach was taken in aining the players. We ran quite a it more this year than last. Speed lays a big part in the game, said oach Bill Cronin. Coach Cronin, with help from Assistant Coach Cary Coffey had the final say in the decisions. We took the game and broke it down into key basics: throwing, hitting and speed. We also looked for knowledge of the game, said Cronin, The strengths for the team were in pitching, hitting and fielding. Pitching was led by Dave Big Guy Baldwin. Baldwin amassed an awesome season record of 16-1. Baldwin contributes much of his success to his amazing split finger fastball. My split finger fastball sinks so batters hit grounders. Because my infield of Cook, Krog, Smith and Coltrin was so devastating, it made that pitch my best, he said. continued on page 134 Safe at home, Senior Trey Brittain crosses the plate on a base hit.

Coach Coffey provided a lot of wisdom and inspiration for the team, he added. A new dimension was added to the 1981 Mustangs, Baldwin con- tinued, the home run ball. This department was led by Trey Brittain and Craig Rathjen. The Mustangs' pre-season play consisted of 4 scrimmages, 10 non- district games and 2 tournaments. In one of the first pre-district mat- ches the Mustangs tangled with Klein Forest. Iames Cook led us with his four hits, but was overshadowed by Seth Howell's outstanding coaching of first base, explained Mr. Baldwin. During pre-season, through the Spring Branch Coaches' tournament, the Mustang offense had accounted for eight home runs. As district approached, the exact winners were difficult to predict. Spring Branch and Stratford were the early picks to win the district, said Cook. The first half of district play was a Base running was an important factor in the Mustang game.

We did real good in pre-district competition, but when the district race began, we just couldn't come up with it when we needed it, said first baseman George Coltrin. It was a round of inconsistency. We had trouble with consistency, explained Cook. On any given day, if we combined our pitching, hitting and fielding, we could beat anyone. The first round ended with the Tigers of Spring Woods the cham- pions. The Mustangs then began to regroup, preparing themselves for a second round run for the roses. Following a strong showing in the first games of the race, the Varsity put together back to back defeats of Nor- thbrook and Spring Woods. continued on page 136 Varsity first baseman George Coltrin leans out to grasp a routine fielding throw during the Varsity Mustangs pre-garm warm-ups versus Stratford.

Following a Northbrook run in the second, Rathjen scored in the third to put the Mustangs back on top, but the Raiders rallied again in the fourth to knot the score. Iler's two-run homer in the fifth put the Ponies on top for good. Nor- thbrook added another run in the sixth but it was all for naught. A five- run seventh inning rally sealed the fate of the Raiders and sent them home, nine to three losers. lay Iler's adept fielding and overall team leadership continued to be a key factor in the team's success, noted Baldwin, again quick to praise his fellow stars. a tie for first place. On the other side of the tie was Stratford. The Mustangs moved into a three game playoff with the Spartans. Stratford was a good team. They had originally been picked to win district. We knew it would be a rough series, said outfielder Ricky Roberts.

Varsity Baseball O 137 I.V. abilities improve record Evidence of tradition in Memorial's IV baseball program is about as deep as Sandlewood Lake. This season, however, the IV finished 9-6-1, unprecedented in Memorial's 20 year history. We started off real strong, but dropped a pair of double-headers to Stratford and Spring Branch midway through the season, said center- fielder Iunior Ira Green. Under the coaching direction of Field General Gary Coffey, the youthful IV opened with a shutout victory over an ill-equipped Katy squad. The IV then split a double-header with a powerhouse Hastings team. Hastings has, in the past, fielded the best teams in the district, noted Coffey. Following Hastings, the IV soundly defeated Elsik, 12-2. Our offense really came alive against Elsik, said outfielder Iunior Niko Papafote. Three days later, the IV found itself in sole position of first place after sweeping a double-header from Northbrook. Our offense stayed alive and the next thing we knew, we were 5-1 and sitting atop district, Caught in a rundown, a Branch baserunner scrambles for the bag.

Defeating Spring Woods 11-6, the IV strengthened their foothold on first place. Following a victory over Woods, we hit our mid-season slump: we started making errors on defense, commented Coffey. The IV lost its next four out of five, the doubleheaders against Stratford and Spring Branch. Those four losses kind of blew our confidence, noted Green. Romping Westchester, 13-5, and shutting out Katy 12-0, the IV was struggling for first place. We really had a shot at district if we could win our last three games, said Papafote. However, weather prevailed and hampered the hopes of IV players. Our game against Westchester was rained out, and we split our next two decisions against Woods and Westchester, explained Green. Overall, we weren't disappointed though. This is the best record any IV team has ever had. 1if by Todd Thompson Quick legs enabled IV centerfielder Ira Green to beat out a throw to third and kiss the dirt at the Spring Woods game.

Baseball O 139 just in fun i Partiers lose frustrations at rowdy softball games Weeknights offered junior and senior guys the chance to get out of the house, meet with friends and im- prove their physical condition by be- ing members of softball teams. Organized by the Greater Houston Softball Association, softball teams throughout the city, including 12 Memorial teams, competed in a season lasting from April 2 to june 4. Once officially in a league, team members then sought a sponsor. Sponsors were usually someone's dad or where you worked or just a store you walked into and asked them to sponsor you, said Senior Kurt Koenig, a member of the Zig Zags softball team. As some teams were more organiz- ed than others, ways of practicing varied. We practiced wherever we could, usually at the field at Spring Branch junior High, and usually two or three times a week. We worked on basic fielding and batting, said junior Wayne Andrews. Memorial players were divided by the Association into two leagues, which played on opposing nights. Our league was made up of all junior teams: they were the Trojans, Gigolos, Wild-Turkeys, Rags, the Bangers and two teams from other schools, the Drillers and the First Presbyterian Hustlers. We played each other on Thursday nights, said Andrews. My league's teams were the Zig Zags, Chimney Rock Pipers, the Fubar's, Maddogs, Snowdogs and Bigheads. We played at Kerr Field Wednesday nights, said Koenig. The top team in each league we to the playoffs. The top team frt our league went to city playoffs a competed against winning teai from other leagues, said Koenig. Most guys did not play for t serious competition.

Unofficial Sports - 143 WEEKE I Weekdays end, playtime begins Weekend and holiday fun take up a serious part of a student's time. One would think that high school students would be limited as to the sort of ac- tivities in which they could par- ticipate, but by using their imagina- tion, students come up with unusual activities that generate fun and ex- citement while at the same time give them an opportunity to release bottl- ed energies. One major plateau in a high school student's life arrives on the sixteenth birthday. Upon passing the required driving tests, the high school student receives his first toy: the car. Driving fast doesn't ,take much nerve, just a push on the pedal and you go, I can race around the 610 loop in about 30 minutes. It's not scary, it's just like going 55, said Sophomore Simon Durcan. Combatting the forces of nature is a challenge to many. Students outfitting themselves in camouflage transform from scholar to hunter, battling the birds and beasts of nature. lf it flies, it dies, explains Freshman Chris Gowan of his hun- ting philosophies. Sandy beaches and the depths of the ocean present new hobbies of their own. Wind surfing lets me feel free, it's a challenge to try not to fall. You pull up the sail, the wind is strong and you glide along the water. It's a lot dif- ferent looking into the shore than looking out, said junior Gene Roberts. Weekends provide students with time to relax and enjoy themselves. Although unusual forms of entertain- ment can be strenuous and expen- sive, trying new activities introduces students to new forms of fun.

Weekend Recreation O 145 Peoplo 'fir Nearly 2,000 students attend Memorial, each very different and unique, each branded with a type of pride. The people of this school make it what it is and a first rate school has first rate people. There are many characters at Memorial. At the top are the prin- cipals, who do everything from cor- rect problems to roam the parking lots looking for illegally parked cars and other offenders. There are teachers, who are out- numbered about 24:1, but keep things running smoothly. There are also counselors, secretaries, cafeteria workers and ofcourse, the students. For four years, the student comes to Memorial, each year seeming longer and longer, each year bringing dif- ferent aspects of the high school years. Freshmen are welcomed into a new environment with added freedom of choice regarding cur- riculum. They are confronted with a myriad of activities such as clubs, sports and electives. Sophomores settle into the high school routine and begin to see the various areas of study in which they are most interested. Future course selection becomes more important. Iuniors basically anticipate their senior year. For many, dreaded senioritis strikes early. Iuniors are swamped with various tests such as the PSAT and the SAT. Finally, the long awaited senior year arrives. Seniors complete the cycle of doing all homework, doing some homework and finally forgetting what homework is. For 175 days every year, a student's life centers around the school. Every student has different goals to achieve in high school. Every character has an important role to fill and each takes great pride in that role. XJU Pep rallies gave students a weekly break from schoolwork and a chance to run wild.

These projects provided interested students with unique opportunities for community involvement. Political campaigns and national charity fundraisers provided in- terested students with unique oppor- tunities for community involvement. Members of Young Conservatives of Texas QYCTJ took advantage of the many job openings for volunteers in the political campaigns of the elec- tion year. We mainly went down to the Reagan-Bush headquarters and worked at the phone bank. Our job was to call volunteers, ask them to come to the headquarters and call people to remind them to vote. Some members went door-to-door and passed out literature, said YCT Secretary Senior Kyra Buchko. Another volunteer project in which students participated was the annual jerry Lews Labor Day Telethon benefitting muscular dystrophy. Sigma Theta Phi ISTPJ is a jewish girls' sorority which concentrates on helping the community through charity projects. As a group, we're a philanthropic organization and we try to help peo- ple less fortunate than ourselves. We achieved our goal by helping jerry, said Senior Wendy Kaplan. The jobs performed by STP members were vital to the success of the telethon. According to Debbie, Being there, you see the new possibilities for a cure and it give you real hope. You can get an idea of this feeling from seeing the kids, but there is a sense of belonging that comes from being in the middle of things. utr by Michelle Mahoney Service projects for NHS included clearing Tully Stadium and visiting the nursing home. junior Helen Hayter visits with a senior citizen.

I think in our school area, there needs to be a change in student at- titude in the way we use and leave the cafeteria and snackbar, said Assistant Principal Gerald Clanton. Leaving the cafeteria in a mess makes the custodians work twice as hard. I have come to the conclusion that it is to the students' advantage to change their habits. We end up pull- ing custodians away from more im- portant jobs to clean up the cafeteria, said Clanton. 1 ff A change in values and judgements can come through learn- ing. Values and judgements cannot be changed. There is no rule that will enforce judgement and value. The only way it can come through is in education, said Clanton. Another problem seen by the prin- cipals is lack of respect for school property and vandalism. Some of the lockers that were painted last year have already been written on or blackened because of fires being set in them, said Clanton. People's tax dollars go into school funds that help clean up vandalism instead oftowards education. Every tax dollar that goes to repair the school property for vandalism takes away from instruction that the students need.

E X Pi VE Q s Q ,A u N gf 'M 3 ll rf fr Administration of approximately 33,000 students, 4,000 district employees, a school board's policies and 40 school campuses is an awesome job and in the Spring Branch School District, that respon- sibility is given to General Superintendent Henry Wheeler. Working in congruence with six Deputy Superintendents, Wheeler and his administrative staff follow through on the decisions of the school board. Our purpose is to make sure the school board policies are carried out, said Wheeler. Finishing his third year in this posi- tion, Wheeler's attitude towards the district is a positive one. The district is in good shape. It's even more impressive when you've been somewhere else, as I have, and can really see the difference, Wheeler said. Wheeler also acclaims the students in the district and denies the common assumption that the quality of students is declining. You must remember that today's students have a much harder work load than those that they're being compared to. SAT tests have changed and comparing the scores of a 1980 student with the scores of a 1960 stu- dent, who didn't learn nearly as much material, is unfair, he said. The quality of the students seems to directly affect the quality of the district. Our students make the district impressive. Their competitive nature, talent and support from their parents all play major roles in the development of such good students, said Wheeler. One program which Wheeler believes is unique to this district and which shows the cooperation bet- ween the students and the ad- ministration is student press con- ferences.

It also keeps the students informed about what is happening in the schools. Mr. Wheeler called a press con- ference every two to four months. The editors of school publications as well as student government leaders attended. A major concern of the administra- tion was the falling enrollment rate. Enrollment has been declining for several reasons. First, the Spring as mgnrjgpv' 1l1t Branch Independent School Distri has limited space for growth.

Discussion, working with students one-on-one and special projects were methods employed by teachers to in- spire student response while creating a more trusting atmosphere between teacher and student. Discussion proved to be an effec- tive means of reaching students for many teachers. Class discussion, very open, is my best teaching method. It gets people thinking and curious and asking questions, said Biology I and II teacher Mrs. Carolyn Schofield, who shares the post of chairman of the Science Department with Mrs. Linda Andrews. Because my class curriculum focuses on reading and studying American literature, much of my class time is spent discussing American authors and their work. Without discussion, an accurate understanding of the themes of the novels could not be had by the average student, commented junior English teacher Ms. Nelda Bristow. Individual aid, in conjunction with discussion, facilitated teacher- student relations. Discussion methods were used extensively in my classes, but I also try to work on a one-to-one basiswith those who need it, contributed Mrs. Lola Kelley, Senior English teacher. There is no substitute for one-on- one teaching for effectiveness. However, public education does not afford teachers the luxury of such a method. Fortunately, I teach a subject that illicits meaningful discussion from students, commented Freshman English teacher Mrs. Theo VanWinkle. Special teaching methods such as projects, reports and games served to bring out each student's individuality and creativity while providing a lear- ning experience. I love games. People can learn so easily from them, and the competi- tion keeps things interesting for the students. I enjoy designing the games because I get a special feeling seeing the results, said Mrs. Schofield.

Fortunately, the question of whether to be a teacher or a friend is one that I have never had a problem dealing with. Friendship is the basis of teaching, said Ms. Bristow. I am my students' teacher, not their friend. I hope they know I care about them deeply, as friends should care about one anotherg but I have ac- quaintances, both on this faculty and outside of school, that I consider true friends, people with whom I share confidences, hopes, problems and triumphs. I can't be a teacher and share all of myself with my students, stated Mrs. VanWinkle. The main aspect of my relation- ship with students is mutual respect. I simply treat my students as people. I have never even considered separating teacher from friend, add- ed Mrs. Kelley. I approach students always as a teacher first. I try to be consistent, fair, knowledgeable and open.

I think it's important to be both fair and consistent, and being prepared, both academically and organizationally, for each class helps, said Mrs. Audrey Amundsen, Spanish II and III instructor. One of the most important characteristics a teacher must have is an unbiased attitude. There is no room for partiality or prejudice in a relationship between a teacher and a student, commented Ms. Bristow. Successful teaching methods and comfortable student-teacher relations were both important for teachers. My main objective in teaching is to stimulate students to think by arousing their interest in literature to help students learn to express themselves in writing, added Mrs. Kelley. I hope that after a student has completed my class, he or she will have acquired the ability to ade- quately express themselves in both written and spoken English, said Ms. Bristow. Because of the personal interest each teacher placed in her work, both student and teacher benefitted and gained satisfaction from the learning experience. I enjoy watching the captivating effect of a good piece of literature on young minds, seeing them grasp the universality of human experience, commented Mrs. VanWinkle. Seeing folks get excited during a lab, when class is over, hearing someone say 'that was really in- teresting' and having people come back from college and tell me my class helped them are some of my most treasured moments, said Mrs. Schofield. I get the most enjoyment from see- ing students progress in becoming in- tellectually curious and desirous of learning on their own, stated Mrs. Kelley. Adding to my students' awareness of their world, stimulating their en- thusiasm for learning and enhanc- 158 O Faculty arouses interest ing their self-esteem is my main goal in teaching, said Mrs. VanWinkle. Fulfillment of each teacher's goals was the result of many hours of lesson planning, research and the ac- tual in-class teaching time. I spend a long time studying, observing and applying each literary concept before presenting it to the class. I just don't feel comfortable in- structing a class on a subject unless I have a full understanding of it myself, explained Ms. Bristow. Nevertheless, viewing the final ef- fect of her efforts, however, it was achieved, was an enjoyable ex- perience for almost every teacher. According to Mrs. Amundsen, The results of my efforts are what give me the most happiness.

The School Volunteer Program, implemented by Memorial High School, has all ready been en- forced by 12 schools in the district. After School Principal Wayne Schaper approved the idea, a leader- ship team was selected. The campus co-ordinator, Iunior Principal Iames McDonald and co-volunteer leaders, Mrs. Geannie Dennis and Mrs. Patty Lee, were primarily responsible for recruiting volunteers. Positions include classroom assistants, math and reading tutors, translators and clerical assistants. Mrs. Karen Heacock, one of the 20 involved in the program, helped play the piano at rehearsals of My Fair Lady. Mrs. janet Marsh helped in the clinic. I mainly did paperwork, but I knew I was helpful and I en- joyed being with the children, com- mented Mrs. Marsh. Each volunteer was placed where the administration thought he or she was best suited. Every member of the program has a talent to share. We tried to match their skills to what the teachers needed or wanted, said Mr. McDonald. Students were provided with tutorial assistance. Human resources were extended, and the student's self-concept was improved. All of these factors contributed to the suc- cess of the program, added Mr. McDonald. This was a project that involved the whole community. Not only was this self-satisfactory to the volunteers and benefitting to the teachers, but in a whole, it made the school a better place, observed Mr. McDonald. uU by Leslie Simor Extra help is often in the office.

This is only a portion of the duties shared by a counselor. Counselors help students recognize their potentials and talents. They guide students in making college choices and discovering scholar- shipffinancial aid. They deal with people's hopes and dreams. Advisors often find themselves in- volved in family matters, boyfgirl relationships and peer matters. I definitely take a personal interest in my kids. One must deal with the whole person, not just the scholar or the job seeker, related Sophomore Counselor Mr. Tom Lewis. Counselors agree on the qualities that make for a good advisor. Loving people, being a good listener and having a sense of humor are impor- tant characteristics. The ability to make a student feel accepted is a quality that is most helpful in counseling, said Mrs. Meador. Freshman Counselor Margaret Love explained that in several in- stances it was years later that a forthcoming thank you was shown to her. Once a college professor com- pared counseling and teaching to mowing the lawn.

You begin making decisions in your junior year, said Senior Mitt Dawson. College night really started me thinking about where to go. Of the 200, three per cent said they would go directly to work. One girl said she was going to New York to be a model. Two per cent said they would join the armed forces. Some of these students planned to join for acacemic reasons. Also, 2.5 per cent said they were undecided. One ambitious student planned to go to the mountains and live off the land to continue my Search for individual continuity.

YL travels bring fun, fellowship Skiing provided senior girls and guys an opportunity to get together and grow closer, through the Cam- paigner senior ski trip. The group bused to Monarch dur- ing the spring break for fun and fellowship. We stayed at a plush Young Life adult resort in Buena Vista, Colorado, said Mr. Randy Youngling, who leads the senior guys group. Besides five days of skiing, the students had a speaker. Mr, Iackie Deere, a Professor at the Dallas Theological Seminary, spoke in the evenings on subjects that encouraged spiritual growth and Christian fellowship, said Youngling. Students went to have fun and learn together. I went to grow spiritually and to become closer to my friends, said Senior Beth Robertson. I had been looking forward to it. It was a neat thing, like a last trip together, said Senior Elizabeth Watts. The skiing and fellowship made the whole trip fun. I enjoyed the fellowship and openness of the group. I think it brought the Senior Class closer together, said Senior Dede Rollins. The skiing was fantastic and everyone grew closer to each other and became better friends, said Senior Greg Giles. Most students agreed that the trip was a success. I had a great time, I grew closer to my friends and benefitted greatly from the Bible study and fellowship, said Giles. I accomplished a closer relation- ship with myself, God and my fellow classmates, said Dede. In addition to the ski trip, the Senior Campaigner group also went on a weekend retreat to Frontier Camp. The camp was located on Lake Houston in Grapeland, Texas. Mr. Herb Agan, Young Life staff member, spoke on Christian relation- ships. Senior leaders, Randy and Tanya Youngling, Linda Wooten and Richard Richarz also attended.

Senior parties provided this break and a good time. It took little or no effort to locate a weekend party. Flyers naming the time and location were often circulated throughout the school a couple of days before the weekend. These notorious parties provided a chance for a little social gathering and a relief from school, said Ron Cochran. Although the parties were organized by the senior spirit groups, they managed to entice students of all grades levels. Many of the party hosts often found their houses and yards up to 200 people. Many students simply cruised the Memorial area on Friday and Satur- nights, hoping to discover that special house or yard overflow- with people. Parking was a pro- and partiers often had to park away. These large gatherings sometimes broken up by local residents because of loud music or il- legal parking. One problem faced by the Seniors every weekend was where to have the parties. The ideal spot that we looked for, said Cochran, was a large house where the parents didn't mind kids being rowdy. Few people wanted to have the radical parties at their houses and yet eventually someone would always volunteer. Each senior party had a theme behind it which provided the type of costume one would wear. A toga par- ty, inspired by the movie, Animal House, was one of the more in- genious themes. With the closing of the football season and disbanding of the Wranglers, the parties tended to get fewer and fewer as the year went on.

It's taken us four years to get it, and now it's ours. It's a senior privilege and nobody elses, com- mented Senior Doug McElree. The parking lot serves as much more than the conventional parking lot. It is a multi-purpose area depending on the time of day, year or weather. The senior parking lot serves as a place of meeting for some 544 seniors and faculty members. Weather sometimes controls the happenings of the lot. In warm weather, the lot becomes a picnic site as students group to eat in cars and under the shade of surrounding trees. But despite sunshine or rainfall, the senior lot is a place where one can find excitement, good conversa- tion and, It's a good place to watch the Senior women walk by, said Michael Cooke.

Seniors Senioritis plagues exiting class Dazed by the many new privileges bestowed on them as seniors and the prospect of a long-awaited in- dependence, many students have caught what is commonly known as senioritis Although not fatal, this disease can affect a student's performance in school as well as out. Suddenly, he finds himself no longer as underclassman, but an up- perclassman who is above it all. The Class of 1981 was no excep- tion. It wasn't that my motivation ran out, it was just simply that after three years of hard work, I felt I deserved a break, ' commented Senior Lynn Mandell. Staying awake in class was a chore. Z-attacks came often as teachers struggled to keep the attention of their students. Textbooks were left in the lockers as seniors sought to avoid the image of students Senioritis, a refinement of the seven-year itch, was demonstrated in many ways. Studying for tests became a thing of the past. Atte dance at sports games increased a attendance at school decreased le cept when the seniors start counting exemptions.l Seniors we scarce at libraries, but available partying on weekends. As the year progressed, the senio anticipation of their final days Memorial could be felt in the ha By the time graduation roll around, I was really ready to get ou stated Karen Couch. Restlessness abounded. Anythi seemed better than the classroo The cafeteria became deserted w the absence of seniors and when t bell to go home sounded, stude raced to leave. Wherever they go, the Seniors 1981 will benefit from this perience. I think senioritis is g because it allows each student become more independent. This dependence will help us in colleg said Senior Shari Hart. 1:U by Leslie Si 176 O Seniors vb? 'X X DX. - wk f SX. Q- . .S X., 1 X -. X S..

She is someone whose shoulder one can always cry on and she can tell a student everything he could want to know about a college future. She will work a schedule out to fit the student's interests. She is a counselor whom students trust. She is Mrs. Pat Maxcy. Mrs. Maxcy has been with Memorial Senior High School since the school's opening in 1963. She taught history until four years ago when she began her first experience at counseling. I like counseling, as well as teaching, but counseling has its benefits. I get to know the students on a one-to-one basis, said Mrs. Maxcy. Having an open ear, a warm heart and honesty are important parts of counseling and Mrs. Maxcy tries to fill these requirements. She explained, Establishing an at- mosphere in which students feel they can confide in me and hearing the everyday problems and concerns of students is important. uU by Kristi Kissner Application deadlines for college occupied the minds of Seniors.

Vice president Ira Green, along with President Betty Epps, Treasurer Ellen Ewing, Secretary Susan McBride and Representative-at-large Alicia Cooke, spent countless Wednesday mornings in the junior office, planning Carnation sales, the junior Prom and the beginning of their Senior Prom. It was good to have the guys' view. Especially when we were thinking about decorations for the prom, said Betty. The girls found that having a boy around also made things a little livelier, and just a bit more humorous. Ira kept it going. He added a lot of laughs, said Betty. However, being a typical male, Ira caused a few problems, as well. The only thing is, he was always junior class officers included Secretary Susan McBride, Representative Alicia Cooke, Vice president Ira Green Treasurer Ellen Ewing Tomforde Margaret Abadie Abbe-Sue Abrams William Adair Allison Adels Sand Alfeld Ashley A lbritton Lynda Allen Dorothy Anderson and President Betty Epps.

We brought all the carnations into the cafeteria and then sorted them all out, explained lunior Class Vice- President Ira Green. It took a pretty long time to get everything done - there were so many carnations! Flowers of nearly every color graced the school scene, as selected juniors handed out pre-ordered carnations. We had a couple of juniors cover every homeroom, said Iunior Class President Betty Epps. Along with the usual sale of carna- tions and silk roses, special messages, such as I Love You, were delivered. We also made it possible to tell from whom the carnations were be- ing sent, said Betty. In doing this, extra money was charged and the person to whom the Carnation was sent knew from whom it came. Everyone seemed to have a good time buying and receiving carna- tions, said Green. It was a lot of work, but the success made it all worthwhile. w by Susan McBride Money for carnations is transferred from the hands of Freshman Hermon Lloyd to the folder of salesman junior Iohn Kelley.

I ix Ballroom formals require planning Iunior girls, excited about their Senior girls formals. started as early as September gathering into groups. Anywhere from 25 to 30 girls made up the groups. The first few meetings were to establish the group and get ideas together. At the first meeting, there was total chaos. Everyone had dif- ferent ideas. But we did decide on a month for our formal, said Iunior Ashley Allbritton. Whether having the first or last dance, preparing a formal was hec- tic. Where to have the formal was fairly easy. A couple of girls went and looked at different hotels and country clubs. They got prices and the group voted on the place, said Iunior Charlotte Whitty. Money is one of the main factors in getting a formal together. We gave about half of our money at the beginning of the year because we needed to put money down for the ballroom, said Iunior Peggy Kostial. Now we have to come up with a theme and hire a band, but we don't have to worry about that yet until next year, she added.

Beginning March 19, the Class of '83 attempted to convince their parents, friends and teachers to spend their money on subscriptions to Sports Illustrated or McCalls. I think I pushed magazines on nearly everybody, said Sophomore jennifer Shroff. Many sellers found their job dif- ficult. Magazines were kind of hard to sell because they're so expensive, said Sophomore Pam Miller. But in a way that's good, because you didn't have to sell very many to make a lot of money, added Sophomore Astrid Williams. Aside from the high cost, other pro- blems arose. A lot of people I talked to had just renewed their subscrip- tions, said Sophomore Vicky Nicandros. Various incentives encouraged the students to sell. Stuffed animals, giant Sophomore magazine salesmen called on houses for their fundraising project. Nathaniel Lack shows Mrs. jody Tomforde some choices of magazines.

Along with this responsibility, t officers were also responsible checking to make sure that the pro amount of money came with ea group of orders.

After each winning Varsity foot- ball and basketball game, the flag is supposed to be flown, said Sophomore Susan Hillman. The Sophomore Class shopped around for a flag but found they ran at the price of S400, so they bought a flag and had the letters sewn on by one of the mothers. We then donated the flag at the beginning of the football season dur- ing a pep rally. We wanted to pro- mote spirit, not just for our class but for the whole school, said Susan. Two years ago, the booster club donated a victory flag to the school, but it was lost or rumored to have been burned by vandals. Mustang spirit was shown when the sophomores gave the Varsity teams a flag. It was given to boost spirit, in a memorable way. Photo by Grant Olbrich.

It really turned out to be a lot of fun, Susan concluded, and most important of all, the class really showed a sense of closeness - we've got a great class.

Freshmen started campaigning in October with decorated posters, catchy sayings and the usual promises listed in their speeches. Eighteen candidates with these qualifications ran. The new officers included President Quinn Stinson, Vice president john Pilati, Secretary Kathy Rejaie, Treasurer Stacie Lumsden and Representative-at- large Carol Ann Smith. I love being on Student Council and working on projects and with people. I thought it would be hard, but the job was mostly fun, com- mented Carol Ann. These five freshmen had ample op- portunity to be busy as they planned their one major money-making pro- ject, selling Christmas ornaments. The money was used to buy a wreath and present it as a gift to the school, according to Stinson. The wreath was placed on the Mustang at pep rallies to promote school spirit. by Lisa Mason Freshman class officers were Treasurer Stacey Lumsden, President Quinn Stinson, Representative-at-large Carol Ann Smith, Secretary Kajy Rejaie and Vice president john Pilati.

Held in the auditorium for about ne and a half hours, the students istened to their new principal, Mrs. argaret Luther, and later became amiliar with the campus. Freshmen oured the school, finding their lasses for the year. It was neat coming to high school or the first time and seeing what it as like. I was kind of nervous, hough, said Freshman Charlyn racken. I was really excited about it, but ot really nervous since I had already een up to the school a couple of imes before and I knew that I ouldn't get lost, said Freshman eri Young. The cheerleaders also participated n the orientation by demonstrating heers and helping the students find eir classrooms to be in use the next ay. I really enjoyed seeing the heerleaders do their cheers because really got me excited about school pirit. They also gave a little pep talk nd then gave us a tour of the cam- us, said Charlyn.

The ornaments were sold by each student for approximately two weeks in October for a price of 83.50. I thought the ornaments were really nice and I was surprised about how easy it was to sell them, said Freshman Carol Ann Smith. I sold about S80 worth. Freshman class officers and Prin- cipal Mrs. Margaret Luther organized the project. It was her idea to sell ornaments as our fund-raiser. On the first day, the entire Freshman Class met in the gym to get the information and start selling, said Carol Ann. Although the sales went smoothly, the overall profit wasn't what was expected. We didn't sell as much as I thought we would, but we made a profit of about S600, said Mrs. Luther. To inspire the students to sell, cash prizes were offered. The prizes really helped because the causes tPromsj are so far in the future. A quota of S100 was set for each student, but not everyone met it. So, we gave a first prize of a S100 to the first student to meet that quota and a second place prize of 9550, and a third of S25. We also gave S50 to the person who sold the most ornaments, and S25 to the second highest seller, said Mrs. Luther. Most students felt the sale was an adequate first attempt. It really didn't do as well as we'd wanted. But, for our first try, it was o.k. The prizes gave some people incentive and we still have next year and Carnation sales to go, said Freshman Class President, Quinn Stinson. H3600 is a start, said Mrs. Luther. Next year, sophomore sales, is usually fairly productive. The follow- ing year, junior carnation sales, always brings in money: some classes have funded both their junior and Senior proms from that sale alone. I'm not worried at all, she added.

'Tm glad the wreath wasn't real so it will be around a long x time, commented Freshman Iudy George. We got it to put on the Mustang, said Class President Quinn Stinson. I thought it up and we lthe officersl talked about it and liked it. We earned some money and presented it at one of the pep rallies right before the Homecoming game, he added. Money for the present was rais- ed by selling Christmas ornaments. We bought the wreath wholesale, and even then, it cost around S80 or tS90, said Stinson. Other classes seemed to agree that a wreath enhanced spirit. I think the idea is good. I hope that people will appreciate it in years to come, said Iunior Lisa Kreutz. However, several students believed that the money could have been used in a more creative way. I think it's a waste of money. They should have saved it for their proms, said Sophomore Ashley Turner. The wreath is almost as bad as the mascot idea, commented Sophomore Sydney Cook. The majority of students approv- ed, though. It showed class spirit. Why didn't our class think about something like that? said Senior Ann Walker. xi! by Lisa Mason Draped with the Victory wreath presented by the Freshman class, the Mustang stands proud as Senior Kristy Kissner rides the Stang.

At several distinct points of 1980-81, one could have experienced this sensation depending on his mania for movies, T.V. or politics. Whatever the case may be, in the news events ap- peared to cause some fairly adamant feelings whether heavenly or not! More dramas appeared in the movie business than previous years. Mindblowers such as Ordinary Peo- ple, The Elephant Man, The Wickerman and Altered States started people thinking about life and the qualities of it. Almost taking peo- ple to total insanity were those wild and crazy comedies like Private Benjamin and Stir Crazy. However, with the cost of movies skyrocketing to almost 855, cable T.V. users had the chance to watch addi- tional movies on the new channels, TMC lThe Movie Channell and Max, short for Cinemax. Records and music continued to thrive with Bruce Springsteen's long-awaited double album The River heading for the charts. AcDc's Back in Black continued to be popular. Looking at fashion, the preppy look was still in with Ralph Lauren's polos and Izod's alligator shirts. Khakis and camouflage represented the trends leading towards the ar- my look. A small addition of the punk stance worked its way into the closets of many clothes- conscientious students or those who wished to stress individualism. Stores like All That Glitters offered these clothes. 1980-81 was a year of extreme emo- tions. Some feelings were absolute heaven while others dropped to disappointment. uf by Lisa Mason Polo shirts, and pleated pants were on the fashion scene. luniors Iennifer O'Donnel and Ioy Sharp and Sophomore Kenneth Smith model the preppie look.

Academics Hard work, blood, sweat and tears are some of the images which come to mind for any student when thinking of the rigors which academic courses bring on. Academics, ranging from the basic solid courses to the more varied electives, served as the basis of a complete education. Students at Memorial are offered a wide curriculum which concentrates on preparing them for a college education. This curriculum includes courses as general as Introduction to Algebra I, Physical Science and as specified as Physics II and Calculus. The diversity of courses offered to students results from the students' de- mand for a more specialized academic course load rather than the district's demand for one. Determination and perseverance are two qualities which are con- sistently found in Memorial students. The hard work which must be undergone to achieve success instills special traits in students. The gradual increase from general to specifics, which Memorials cur- riculum provides, serves not only to form a better understanding within the student of the course itself, but to establish essential study habits and character traits which will help him in later life. A diverse curriculum in addition to an excellent teaching student body produces the type of student which has been consistently associated with Memorial, a student who begins his work with determination and finishes with pride. uU Drafting I develops drawing skills. lunior Paul Gregory uses his textbook as a reference while drawing three dimensional figures.

The second semester invited freshmen to study ancient Greek mythology in detail as well as poetry and drama, which included Romeo and julietf' Moving into the sophomore year, students strove to put together a thesis, introduction, body and conclu- sion into the prevailing five paragraph paper.

Students enrolled in World History, American history and Government carried on this system with their daily notetaking, reading and study of past cultures. These courses enabled students to learn facts of centuries ago as if they had just occurred. This year, we got really into our recent history which was both in- teresting and pertinent to our daily lives, stated Freshman Richard Lapin. Although the curriculum was in- tense and in-depth, the nation's history was explained in an easy, understandable manner.

Academic pressures faced during the freshman year at college are dif- ficult, and a head start is a welcome relief. Two courses offering college semester exemption are Advanced Placement IAPI and College Level Examination ICLEPI Government. juniors enrolled in AP, taught by Mrs. jean Babcock, spent the year preparing for the placement test. Our textbook covered the material on the test we took to place out of American History our freshman year, said junior Cathy Dunn. One of the year's major projects was the infamous junior research paper. We picked our own subjects per- taining to history or current events, said junior Nell Boland. Another highlighted event was a field trip taken during the study of WW II. Seniors taking the CLEP course were offered guidance forthe test in March. The test determined exemption from one semester in college, said CLEP teacher Mr. Chuck Chernosky. Students also had the option to place out of a second semester by taking a Texas Tech University course offered in class, he added. Other large parts of the curriculum were field trips, films and speakers. On a field trip downtown, we heard Ronald Reagan at Tranquillity Park. It was quite an experience, said Senior Rick Beeler. One project allowed students to make their own movies. We made movies on the aspects of government. Mine dealt with judicial review, said Senior Kristi Kissner.

The biggest asset to the program is our teacher, Mr. Charles Chernosky, who should be commended for all his work and dedication, commented Senior Ieff Mundy. Student enthusiasm about the ad- vantage of its uniqueness in pro- viding a broadened awareness and perspective is one important aspect of the class.

Accelerated Calculus and Trigonometry-Elementary Analysis are offered to those masochistic students who have completed Algebra, Geometry and Algebra II. Calculus and TrigfE.A. are Courses offered that stress theory over practical application, noted Trigonometry and Calculus teacher Mrs. Gladys Wood. Most of the material covered serves as preparatory knowledge necessary in a college engineering or technological course. Trigonometry and Elementary Analysis were taught by Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Pam Calder and Mrs. joan Benedict. The first semester was basically Trigonometry applications while the last semester covered Elementary Analysis, explained Mrs. Calder. Many found this course frustrating. With subjects such as hyperbolic symmetrical translations and func- tions of minors through polynomial expansions I mean who really needs them? said junior Scott Garberding. Others found a solution to the hideous work load. Our class made a mockery out of the whole course, said junior Ira Green. Inverse log jokes played a part in my total learning experience. They tended to break the ice when we were all tempted to give up, sup- plemented junior jeff Fisher. She jixirs. Woodj thought they were funny, but needless to say, she became kind of irritated when we started in on the elephant inverse log jokes. said junior Karin Snelson.

There is a variety of such electives offered in the Memorial curriculum: these being Computer Math. Analytic Geometry, M.O.C.E. and Linear Algebra. These courses are accepted as regular math credit at most major universities, said Computer Math teacher Mr. Don Haynes. Computer Math gives students basic studies on the use of the com- puter and its logical system as a problem-solving device. It has given me another prospective career choice, said Iunior Trey Feigle. Another course students may find beneficial in later life is Analytic Geometry, a course that studies the comparison of a relation to its graph. Trigonometry is required as a prere- quisite.

Science classes discover I I experimenting technique D1 1nmvIlU 1 4 224 I Science I 1 Advanced science courses offered science-oriented students a chance to delve deeper into the details of physics, chemistry and biology. Ad- vanced mathematics and introduc- tory science courses were pre- requisites for the accelerated classes. Labs were a required part of eveI'y science course and varied equipment both new and old, was used. We have two nice oscilloscopes, apparatus to determine the mass of electrons, a magnet that will produce a very strong magnetic field and a number of other things, said Mr. Mike Saathoff. In Chemistry II, taught by Mrs. Dorothy Rae, labs took on a different aspect. The last two weeks we do qualitative analysis. Each student is given an unknown solution and must determine what it is by using a cen- trifuge techniquef' explained Mrs. Rae. Guest speakers and field trips also added to regular classroom activities. We do have guest speakers several times a year. We had a medical stu- dent. Later, we will go to the Medical Center to use the scan microscope, said Biology II teacher Mrs. Carolyn Schofield. Biology II was taken by many students as an advanced placement course and from three to nine hours of college credit were obtained. I designed the AP course myself even had to write the district lab boa because college lab books requi equipment we don't have, said Mi- Schofield. Certain pre-requisites were 1- quired to take these courses. Physi II and Calculus must be taken c currently.

Science demands a way of deduc- ing that is helpful in the future. Science is a way of thinking logical- ly and analiticallyf' said Chemistry teacher Miss Pauli Koscloskey. lt allows students to practice that kind of thinking. From mixing chemicals to dissec- ting sharks to testing the speed of hot wheels, the wide range of experimen- ting techniques provided visual insight. Theories and concepts are dif- ficult for students to transmit from a text to a life experience, said Miss Koscloskey. Physical science covered a general study of non-living material. We prepare labs, learn safety rules, inter- pret chemical reactions and distinguish natural things from ar- tificial ones, said Sophomore Bill Graves. I especially enjoy the labs, he continued. Living organisms and how they function were examined in biology classes. We started by studying the cell, then moved to bigger and more complex organisms, said Iunior Nita Ramsey. Protective goggles and aprons marked chemistry students perform- ing one of the frequent lab exercises. We did labs about twice a week to help us understand some of the con- cepts we learn, said Iunior Marie Fischer. A wide range of formulas were used in physics in dealing with the transfer of energy from one source of matter to another. It's logical, but you never really thought of it, said Iunior Doug Griffith.

As science-related occupations in- crease in number and importance, the prospect of future careers becomes more obvious. My scienu classes are helping me decide aboi job possibilities in the science field said Griffith.

Astronomy! Aviation Participation in an elective science class was one of the privileges gained with upperclassman seniority. Among these privileges is the allowance of enrolling in elective science classes. Students interested in space in- creased their knowledge in astronomy. There are a lot of factual things about the heavens that students learn, said astronomy teacher, Mr. Mike Saathoff. Astronomy lasted one semester and in that time, students completed various projects. They go out and do star observing on clear evenings and clear mornings, contributed Mr. Saathoff. Students also learned some basic chemistry, physics and computer science. Some students wrote com- puter programs to simulate the mo- tions of planets when they are in or- bit, said Mr. Saathoff.

Two Russian students were also in- volved in a short film designed to make foreign languages more appeal- ing to junior high school students. Language students are brought closer to another culture by learning that country's language. Learning another language deals with another country, but they are so much like us, said Dawson. The Russian I and II classes are relatively small, creating a more en- joyable atmosphere for students. The most difficult part of learning a new language is the oral conversa- tions. Learning to translate, the ac- tual conversations are the hardest parts of learning German, stated Dawson. The German and Russian lessor consist mainly of vocabulary an reciting orally. This approach ever tually becomes dull. A little bit c variation would be nice, commente Adair. The German classes wer however, periodically exposed several aspects of German cultur. Sometimes we sang songs and rea German magazines, said Dawson. The Russian classes had both Christmas and Easter party. Russia folk songs and Russian food wein both part of the festivities.

Gym class simply did not ,allow enough time for the students to take a shower. As students learned to cope with the lack of time to become presen- table, they enjoyed participating in the various sports that gym offered. Outside, students have the choice of playing football, softball, soccer, basketball or walking around the track, said Coach Don Coleman. Inside, students can play badmin- ton, basketball, volleyball and ping- pong, he added. Because the girls' basketball team had the gym first period, first period gym class had to sit in the cafeteria. It was awesome because on cold, rainy days, we had to go in the cafeteria, and I could finish my 234 O Health!Gym homework, said junior Bill Krause. The introduction of the semester system shortened the time for a stu- dent to complete gym. Last year, a gym student needed five quarters or one and two-thirds of a year to com- plete gym, explained Coach Col- eman. This year, a student needs three semesters or one and one-half of a year to complete gym, he continued. Newspaper reports on health related articles and answering ques- tions in the textbook was a part of the daily routine during the week of a health class. On some days, students would have to listen to lectures. Health teachers required students to write a two page report from a choice of difficulties that are present in every student's life.

Gym I Vocal skills talents preval indebate, speech classes Famous orator and author Mark Twain once said, It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. This paradoxical attitude may seem familiar to Speech and Debate students. Speakers are given time to prepare for their assignments, but performing requires poise and quick thinking. It lSpeech and Debatel improves the student's thinking process, said Debate and Speech II teacher, Mrs. lean Boles. Speech also teaches the student to express himself effectively. One pur- pose of Speech is to allow the student to acquire the art of oral com- munication, said Department Chair-man, Mrs. Edelweiss Ames. To acquire these characteristics, the students must perform orations on a wide range of subjects. They do speeches to inform, convince, per- suade, inspire and entertain, added Mrs. Ames. The course's practicality does not end with the acquisition of con- fidence. It also offers lessons that can be used in one's future experiences. Speech is a very rewarding class. For example, you can make a good impression on a job interview by ap- plying what you learned in Speech, said Sophomore Susan Hillman. Each Speech student has his own reasons for taking the class. One motive is that it is a prerequisite for Debate. Debate is a class which is often misinterpreted as a roomful of people arguing about something of little im- portance. Debate is not just argu- ment, and it's more structured than discussion, explained Mrs. Boles.

Ticket sales, phonetics and reading comprehension presented by R. L. Cook in Drama I. I attempted to introduce the various aspects of the performing arts to the students, said Mr. Cook. Dramatic classroom performances gave actors and actresses the oppor- tunity to practice and perfect their skills. Drama I does a lot of classroom plays and skits, said junior Steve Gallaher. I had a good time. Drama II stressed the independent study of the sciences. Students know their strong points already and can develop them, said Mr. Cook. Third year drama students each produced an entire puppet produc- tion. The puppets were fun to make. It was something we'd never done before, said Senior Iana Norris. Student participation extends beyond the classroom. Students must work a 14 hour minimum on each show, rehearse, read outside of class and also work during class, stressed Mr. Cook. The first crew call was to prepare sets for Ronald Alexander's ironic production of Time Out for Ginger. It was a good learning experience because we used a lot of first timers, said jana. It was important to Mr. Cook because it was his tenth anniversary at Memorial, she added. Senior Mike McTaggart and junior Karin Murphy also starred in the play. Out of all the plays I've done, it was probably the most successful, said Karin. Everyone enjoyed it and we had a good turnout, she added. Work was interrupted in December for the Madrigal dinner.

It was a blast, she added. Auditions extended beyond theatrical roles. Outstanding drama students were invited to join the drama honor club Thespians, only after auditions. Students were invited to join because of contributions they made to Memorial, including competitions. Members also must have participated in two different areas of a production such as acting and lighting. '4We go to theatrical productions together, said jana.

Beginning with the history of straight news stories, students were introduced to basic writing techniques. Much time was spent on perfecting the colorful lead. From leads, students moved on to news and feature stories. I like features better than straight news stories. They're more interesting and you don't have to use the inverted pyramid form, contributed Iunior Charlotte Whitty. Actual class time was spent either taking notes or writing various assignments.

Heading the Reata staff was editor- in-chief, Iunior Doug Middlebrooks, and leading the Anvil staff was editor-in-chief, Senior Susan Feigin. As a traditional appointment, Iunior Susan McBride was named personal secretary to the Reata editor. Susan McBride and the rest of the writers worked on both Reata and Anvil. Writers work as hard as anyone on staff, probably harder. When Reata and Anvil hit them at once, they had two and three stories, said Middlebrooks.

M'--.Q 11 ' Psychologists study Freud, theories behind social traits Human behavior was the main facet studied in psychology and sociology, two seemingly similar courses taught by Mrs. Gwen Roberts and Mrs. Patti Stone. Although the classes interacted to some degree, there was a direct point at which they differed. You have to remember that psychology is the study of the in- dividual and sociology is the study of groups, said sociology teacher Mrs. Stone. In the sociology class, the students studied the culture, relationships and social problems of various ethnic groups. They ran surveys and reported their findings to the class. Sociology students were given the opportunity to perform volunteer work in nursing homes, homes for autistic children and telephone hot-lines. Two juniors, Allison Adels and Pam Kurio, worked in the Baptist smile when you walked in the door. It really . . . well . . . inspired you to give them your best, Pam smiled. Psychology studied the individua and the reasons humans behave th way they do. Mrs. Roberts explained, The ob- jective is self-awareness. If you want to change your behavior, you will find out how to. Students were asked to participate in many in-class experiments, self- exploration activities and analysis oi research articles. Most students enrolled i psychology were sincerely intereste in discovering why they act the way. they do. I think the class was fun, becaus everybody in there really wanted td be there, and that's not too common,' stated Senior Diane Auchter.

Special interests in art or home- making courses can help students ac- quire needed credits while learning satisfying and practical skills. Homemaking courses included Sew- ing, Cooking, Child Development, Consumer Education and Homefurnishings. Homemaking I, taught by Mrs. Nancy Hatch, taught the basics of sewing and cooking. Child Development dealt with the work and skills involved in raising children and the reasons for having them. Child Development made me realize all the problems involved in raising children, said junior Robin Truesdell. Consumer Education enabled students to learn valuable informa- tion about everyday living along with basic consumer survival tips. Con- sumer Education is one of the most valuable courses you can take, said Consumer Education teacher Mrs. Phyllis Moore. Homefurnishings was a one semester course, also taught by Mrs. Moore, which could be helpful to students wishing to pursue interior design as a career. Students learned decorating ideas, along with facts about the architecture and differe styles of furniture and housing. Painting, drawing, jewelry a ceramics were some of the cra taught in Arts I-III by Mrs. Elizabe Bayley and Mrs. Elizabeth Bonewit Students prepared projects f many different art shows during t year. One of the big art sho students prepared for was the Texan Art Show, said Mrs. Bayley. Different crafts were taught duri the year. The students don't real have a favorite craft, but if they h to choose a favorite craft, they wou have probably chosen painting drawing, said Mrs. Bayley. Art courses were taken for ma different reasons. Some stude wanted to learn to paint.

The center specializes in teaching vocational skills not offered in school. Students involved in the programs took their required courses, such as English and math, at school, and then went to the center in the afternoon. According to the Career Center principal, Mr. I. T. Chivers, there were about 400 students. They spent one-half of every school day at the Career Center. The Center offers a wide variety of vocational programs, We offer such programs as data pro- cessing, cosmetology, television repair and auto mechanics, said Clad in an apron, woodshop instructor Mr. Philip Riley gives junior Robert Maxwell help, as well as advice, on construction of his pro- ject.

He went on to say, I'm not sayin that there is anything wrong with col lege, it's just nice to have somethin to fall back on, he concluded.

The great amount of paperwork could not be overwhelmed without this essen- tial skill. Although Typing I and II are of- fered as electives, many of the skills mastered prove to be so beneficial in college that students feel it should be emphasized as an essential elective. I know it would never be con- sidered as a required course, but Typ- ing I is almost a necessity to make it through high school, stated Senior Nancy Hess. Typing is the essence of business, said Senior Duncan McCall. In preparation for the re- quirements of the business world, students complete many assignments consisting of timed writings, speed drills and letter writing. Students followed a standardized course which covered the basics of typing plus additional lessons on the construction and execution of a pro- per business letter. Studies of how business operates occupied most classtime of Business Management students. While answering a homework assign- ment, Senior Todd Iohnson studies his book. Photo by Taylor Stout.

Rising costs and high inflation have led many students to join the work force. Seeking aid in preparation for these future careers, the students turned to various business courses of- fered as electives by the Business Department. One such course which specifically concentrates on preparing students for future careers is Accounting. Ac- counting I, a full year elective, teaches the recording and inter- preting of the financial records of a business. Accounting II deals with the administration of partnerships and corporations. The popularity of Accounting has increased with the added amount of career oriented students. We had to open another room for accounting and buy 50 new calculators just to handle the larger class load, said Department Chairman Mrs. Coye Emmons. Accounting is a good field to go in- to and it has a good future, com- mented Iunior Ioe Onofrietti.

Despite the lack of students that has plagued them in recent years, the orchestra excelled and inundated their year with a perpetual rain of activities. The Orchestra officers included Senior President Brad Dalton, Senior Vice president Sarah Kemery, Sophomore Secretary Amy Olbrich and Senior Treasurer Iordan Train. Since Orchestra does not receive P.E. credit, the reason for the shor- tage of students seems evident. But the dificiency of students did not have any bearing on their perfor- mance as the 17-piece group opened with a Fall Concert November 13.

The Choir Department under the direction of Miss Coloma Lafferty retained the traditions of its past, yet added new dimensions. In the past, the Chorale, the top performing mixed choir, had been a group of approximately 70-80 members. The group was diminished to exactly 40 members out of necessity. With this smaller choir, there were new possibilities. The Chorale took a retreat September 19-Z0 which allow- ed members to get to know each other outside of the choir room. It was a neat way to get to know everyone in the choir, said Senior Gretchen Cant. All activity was not limited to the Chorale. The Concert Choir and Girls' Choir had performances of their own to prepare for. Both choirs participated in an Open House Con- cert October 22 in which the Choir Dressed in their casual uniforms, Chorale members perform at the Touch of Class con- cert.

Photo by Scott Coleman, Change was the one word that best described the Mustang Marching Band of last season. The most notable change involved the installation of Mr. Fred Baetge as band director. Gther changes included stricter rules and a new tougher grading system. Controversy arose over a few of the rules. One of the most controversial rules required band members to make up absences by remaining for one hour after school. I thought the rules were unfair but eventually the problems were work- ed out, said Sophomore Raymond McCall. Band members had to study harder to keep up with the grading system. Mr, Baetge's new grading rules were hard to adjust to at first, but like everything else that changed we got used to it and accepted it, said Senior Ann Walker. Sectionals offered more individual help Sectionals are more relaxed than other band rehearsals. You get more personal attention and a lot more accomplished, said Ann. Both work and sacrifice were re- quired of band members.

An aneurysm claimed Miss Iosey's already provided a basis for the Markette tradition, to be carried on by those who had the opportunity to experience her leadership. In honor of Miss Iosey's life, a Memorial fund was established. The money will be awarded to an outstan- ding Markette each year.

A yearbook is a memory book, remember what we did. 1980-81 was a year of change, of improvements and refinements. The semester system was reinstated and a new spring break was added. New restrictions were enforced on the spirit organizations because of conduct problems at pep rallies. In the news, the space shuttle made its first trip into space, and returned with a picture perfect landing in California.

Closing O2 Branded with pride Baseball was a repeat story of iden- tical theme, almost. At the close of the season, Memorial, as the second round winners, found themselves in a playoff against Spring Woods, the first round champion. In an exciting three game series, the Mustangs fell to the Tigers in the final game. Late in the year, another news item hit the Spring Branch area. A multi- million dollar bond issue was passed supplying money for district wide im- provements. New gyms as well as im- proved heating and air systems will be added to every high school in the district. The theme chosen to represent this year was Branded with pride. This idea well describes the Memorial stu- dent. It is a strange theme in that it does not limit itself to this year alone. Branded with pride describes Memorial victories for every year. Look at us, Look what we've done. Memorial's call to the rest. Our brand is not made of iron, it is simply our signature. When something is signed, it is complete, branded with pridew Comical costumes enabled Senior CLEP students Bill Stinner and Sheri Hart to perform a skit about law enforcement for video televi- sion.

Closing O 287 Branded with pride Editor's Note Reatas, or lassos, have long been used to help ranchers in branding their cattle. The Reata, as our year- book, is now a brand itself, the brand being composed of the staff's signa- ture, their mark of pride. 288 pages composed and designed by a staff of 40. To be editor of this book, you have to be a bit eccentric. You are also forced to do some yelling you don't want to do. The yelling, however, is not directed at individuals, but at in- dividuals acting as writers, designers, ad salesmen or photographers. As the 1980 book claimed, it is a quest for ex- cellence that pushes us to attempt professionalism. I have tried, as editor, to design this book for our readers and not for iudges I have never met. This year's was a young and inexperienced staff, though, and some of our highest and grandest plans had to be altered for various reasons. My personal thanks to the out- standing individuals in journalism. There was Bud Thomas, creator of the geography game and Hugh, and Todd, or is it Doug?, Thompson, creator of several things. Also, my thanks to every writer, photographer and staff member who contributed to this book. Thanks to Lee Green, adviser, and Robin King, our Taylor representative as well. In cognito, I'd like to conclude with these wise words: No man is an island, unless he wets his bed. - Doug Middlebrooks, Reata Edi- tor 1981 Yearbook designs were Senior Kathy Dyer's forte Kathy received an Outstanding Student Award for her expertise and leadership on the Reata staff.
